Museo di San Marco, Florence Overview

The Museo di San Marco is a museum located in Piazza San Marco in Florence. It is known for its fine architecture and impressive frescoes, the works of the talented painter and monk Fra Angelico. The museum makes for an excellent visit for those interested in Renaissance art.

The striking facade of the museum can be accredited to Michelezzo, who Cosimo de Medici appointed in the 15th century. It was initially a convent and the house of Fra Girolamo Savonarola. To commemorate his wonderful religious paintings, Fra' Angelico was made a saint in 1984. There are many beautiful cloisters in this museum, all the works of Michelezzo. The pilgrim's stopover was a resting space for pilgrims and now has three spectacular paintings of Fra Angelico on display. Fra Angelico's world-famous Annunciation can be found on the first floor. In addition, the Refectory has the notable 'The Last Supper' painting by Ghirlandaio. Also, don't miss the sleeping cells, which are covered in stunning frescos depicting the life of Jesus.
