Museum of San Marco

Museo Nazionale di San Marco is a renowned art museum housed in the monumental 15th-century Dominican convent of San Marco on Piazza San Marco in Florence.

Designed by the architect Michelozzo, the building is a historical masterpiece. It holds the world's most extensive collection of works by Fra Angelico, who lived at the convent as a Dominican friar. The collection features both wooden panel paintings and frescoes.

Highlights include:

• Masterpieces by Fra Bartolomeo, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Alesso Baldovinetti, Jacopo Vignali, Bernardino Poccetti, and Giovanni Antonio Sogliani.
• The seat of Girolamo Savonarola's discourses during his late 15th-century spiritual rule in Florence.
• A famous manuscript collection housed in Michelozzo's historic library.
