Museo di San Marco: a look inside the Renaissance monastery

What awaits you on site

The Museo di San Marco is located in the Dominican monastery of San Marco in Florence. The monastery, built by Michelozzo between 1437 and 1452, is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and was once one of the most modern monasteries in Italy.

Visitors can tour the impressively preserved rooms of the 15th century monastery, including the library hall, which became the first "public library" in the western world. The museum displays important frescoes by Beato Angelico, who designed many of the rooms, as well as works by Fra Bartolomeo and other painters of the Florentine school.

The Museo di San Marco offers a fascinating insight into the art and architecture of the Renaissance and also includes the cloister della Spesa, the refectory and the chapter houses.
