Visit San Marco Museum with a Private Guide. The museum is housed in the former convent of San Marco, of which only the church remains an active place of worship. It’s a beautiful building right next to Florence University, built in the 15th century by the architect Michelozzo. Inside, you will find the most extensive collection of works of Fra Angelico, an Early Renaissance artist who was described as having "a rare and perfect talent". The museum also houses an impressive collection of sacred art, with a sweeping fresco by Giovanni Antonio Sogliani, the Last Supper by Domenico Ghirlandaio, and many works of Mariotto Albertinelli. It’s a must-see for everyone interested in the history and art of Florence.
