Saint Mark's English Church was founded in 1906 by Reverend Charles Tooth. It was the second Anglican church to be built in Florence, and now the 400 seat venue is used for classical music concerts and opera.

The church was severely damaged by floods in 1966, which  destroyed part of the 19th century stencil work on the walls,  though fortunately some parts have survived. The Pre-Raphaelite style church on Via Maggio is also where you can marvel at Jason Arkles' white marble statue "Apotheosis of Saint Mark" which is the first work of an American sculptor to be displayed  in a public place in Florence.
