Museo di San Marco
About

Museo di San Marco in Florence is one of the city’s most serene and spiritually resonant museums, housed within a former Dominican convent redesigned by Michelozzo in the 15th century. Its quiet cloisters and monastic cells preserve the extraordinary frescoes of Fra Angelico, whose luminous colours and gentle figures embody the devotional spirit of early Renaissance art. The highlight is the Annunciation at the top of the staircase, a work that still radiates calm and contemplation. Visitors can explore the friars’ cells, the library once used by Savonarola and the refectory with its monumental Last Supper, gaining insight into the daily life of the Dominican community. Intimate, atmospheric and rich in artistic significance, Museo di San Marco offers a rare encounter with Renaissance art in its original spiritual setting.
