Overview

2-hour tour in one of the less famous and most impressive museums in the world: The Convent San Marco, with its cells of the Dominican friars and the cell where Cosimo The Elder Medici used to pray! Each cell has been frescoed by Beato Angelico, one of the great painters of the Renaissance and a friar himself. Here we visit the Refectory with the marvellous Last Supper by Domenico del Ghirlandaio, the famous Medici library and also the cell of the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola, who was burnt at the stalk in Piazza Signoria. His dress is still there, with the marks of the burning, more than 500 years old! The astonishing Basilica San Marco is the burial place of Agnolo Poliziano and Girolamo Savonarola. Of course we'll visit it as well!

Amazing hidden gem of fabulous frescoes

Published on Oct, 2023

A must-do place to visit while in Florence. This amazing religious estate offers a taste of life for Dominican friars but, more impressively, a wide range of amazing fresco paintings in their dormitories, of which a large number are by Fra Angelico (15th century). To really appreciate the skills and time put into these pieces, you really must visit the Church and the dormitories. In addition, there are lots of other unique historical treasures, including 15th-century manuscripts used for music. A must-do place to visit.

Special Atmosphere

Published on Dec, 2022

This is a really special place. There is something about the atmosphere as well as the stunning frescoes by Fra Angelico.

fabulous frescoes

Published on Oct, 2022

This is probably my favourite place in Florence because of the frescoes by Fra' Angelico and being able to see inside the monks' cells - each with a fresco. The Accademia is also very nearby.

Museo di San Marco has wonderful history and art in an uncrowded venue.

Susanna was the best tour guide! She gave me a very complete and non rushed tour and even extra time! She answered all questions and asked about my interests to best serve me. The Fra Angelico frescos were very beautiful and seeing the cell of Savonarola was of special interest. This was a relaxing break from the more packed sites. You can't go wrong with Susanna.
