"Dante's Tomb Standing in the Piazza Santa Croce, a statue of Dante looms over the square from the corner. Florence , where Durante degli Alighieri's journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise was to begin but not end. In 1829 a tomb was built for him in the Basilica of Santa Croce—the largest Franciscan church in the world. The tomb has remained empty ever since as Dante's body lies in Ravenna.
