The Church of Spirito Santo, which was originally dedicated to Our Lady of the Annunciation, and the adjacent monastery, were built between 1336 and 1337 by the religious order of the Servants of Mary. The convent was demolished at the end of the 1700s when the church took on its current name. The single nave is covered by a wooden truss ceiling.
Inside the church, various works of art are worthy of note, namely a Presentation to the Temple, by the workshop of Filippo Lippi, an enthroned Madonna and Child, with Saints Anne, Rocco and Jacopo, by Michele Tosini and Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio, possibly originating from the Compagnia di San Rocco, a Pentecost of notable quality by Santi di Tito dating to 1598, situated inside a niche behind the altar, and lastly a sophisticated Annunciation attributed to Jacopo di Cione.
The precious sculpted and painted Baroque wooden choir with organ by the Florentine Domenico Valleri dates to 1741. A Renaissance cloister flanking the church was subsequently partially walled up.
