Housed in the monumental wing of an ancient Dominican convent, the National Museum of San Marco, located in Piazza San Marco in Florence, is an architectural masterpiece by Michelozzo and features the world’s largest collection of works by Beato Angelico, one of the greatest painters of the early Renaissance, who lived in the monastery for a period of time. 

While the San Marco Museum is outside the main tourist routes in Florence, it deserves to be visited, both for the architecture of the building (Michelozzo was one of the great pioneers of architecture during the Renaissance, extensively employed by Cosimo de' Medici) and for the art contained inside, which includes works by Fra Bartolomeo, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Alessio Baldovinetti and Jacopo Vignali, among others.
