Designed by the renowned Renaissance architect Michelozzo and commissioned by Cosimo "Il Vecchio" de' Medici, San Marco is a Dominican convent. It remains an active monastic residence and a shining example of the era's architectural brilliance.
As you explore the museum, you'll be captivated by its array of evocative rooms, featuring one of the world's most celebrated collections of paintings by Beato Angelico, a key figure in the Florentine Renaissance.
Start your journey in the serene Cloister of St. Anthony, a tranquil hub of monastic life, adorned with frescoed lunettes that lead to halls showcasing Beato Angelico's exquisite wood and fresco works.
Continue your tour through the Great Refectory, the historic Kitchen, and service areas, where you'll encounter Fra Bartolomeo's notable paintings. In the Small Refectory, marvel at Domenico Ghirlandaio's stunning fresco of the Last Supper, a testament to the artist's genius.
Ascend to the monks' cells upstairs, where Beato Angelico’s unparalleled frescoes await. Don’t miss the cell of the infamous friar Girolamo Savonarola, known for his fervent sermons against clerical corruption, who met a dramatic end in Piazza della Signoria.
Conclude your visit in the Library, renowned for its exquisite Renaissance architecture—the first public library in Europe. Enhance your experience with a guided tour of San Marco and Santissima Annunziata squares, just a short walk away, where you'll encounter additional architectural marvels and historical wonders.
