Step by Step

Discover the work of the painter Fra Angelico thanks to these tickets for the Museo di San Marco in Florence. This is a space located next to the Church of San Marco, where he spent most of his life as a monk and where he produced most of his works, which are still preserved and can still be seen.

Fra Angelico was a Dominican monk who later became prior of the convent and who decorated in a style perfectly adapted to the architecture of the chapter house, the cloister and the cells on the first floor of the brothers' quarters.

This museum, located in the centre of Florence, offers visitors an example of a perfectly preserved 15th century convent, with a harmonious floor plan based on Brunelleschi's innovations. Everything is designed to coordinate and simplify monastic life within its walls, both in the quiet cloister and in the luminous library, one of the finest interiors of the Renaissance.

The complex also houses the museum of Fra Angelico's works in the form of frescoed interiors and the panels displayed in the large almshouse.

Another of the most famous works you will see is the Crucifixion, painted in the Chapter House. In the 44 cells, which you can also visit, are the famous Annunciation, the Three Marys at the Tomb, Noli me tangere and others.
