What To Expect

Make your own way to the San Marco complex to meet your guide.

Commissioned by Cosimo de' Medici and designed in part by the architect Michelozzo, the complex features sublime architecture along with a stunning collection of artwork by Fra Angelico. Your guide explains the five parts of the complex that you visit: the church, convent, facade, and the first and second cloister.

Hear about many important 15th-century figures that were associated with San Marco, including Fra Girolamo Savonarola, Cosimo de' Medici, and Fra Angelico. This lesser-known site is a hidden gem in Florence.

Great experience, mediocre guide
Charles_W, Aug 2023
The tour guide obviously knew much about the subject matter, but was barely understandable. Her mastery of English was not what we hoped for. Still, the paintings and frescoes are amazing.
Visite magnifique!!
