Private Florence San Marco Museum Tour with Skip-the-Line Entry
Overview
Discover the captivating beauty and rich history of San Marco, a Dominican convent designed by Michelozzo and commissioned by Cosimo "Il Vecchio" de' Medici.
Begin your tour in the peaceful Cloister of St. Anthony, where frescoed lunettes lead you to halls featuring Beato Angelico's masterful frescoes and wood paintings. As you move through the Great Refectory, historic Kitchen, and service areas, you'll encounter the works of Fra Bartolomeo, another prominent Renaissance artist. In the Small Refectory, don't miss the breathtaking Last Supper fresco by Domenico Ghirlandaio. Then, head upstairs to visit the monks' cells, where you'll find Beato Angelico’s incomparable frescoes, including the cell of Girolamo Savonarola, a fiery preacher whose sermons against corruption left a lasting mark on Florentine history. End your journey in the elegant Library of San Marco, Europe's first public library, and a brilliant example of Renaissance architecture.
