Piazza San Marco, surrounded by elegant buildings is dominated by the facade of the Church and Convent of San Marco from which the square takes its name. In the middle of the square there is a small green area with trees and a bronze statue depicting General Manfredo Fanti (who died in Florence), made in 1873 by the sculptor Papi. The square was built in the first half of the 15th century, when Cosimo il Vecchio commissioned Michelozzo to build the church and the convent for the Silvestrini monks. The museum is located in the monumental part of the Dominican convent of San Marco, it is an architectural masterpiece commissioned by Cosimo de' Medici to Michelozzo and built between 1437 and 1443. Inside the museum you will be able to admire the largest collection in the world of the works of Beato Angelico, one of the greatest painters of the early Renaissance. The visit to the museum passes through the splendid spaces of the convent and in particular the cloister of Sant'Antonio, Sala dell'Ospizio, Sala del Refettorio, Sala del Capitolo and the monks’ cells. The beautiful Sala del Cenacolo is frescoed by Domenico Ghirlandaio with The Last Supper (1480). Via Camillo Cavour is one of the main streets of the northern part of the historical center of Florence. It leads to the Duomo and it is full of stores, but not only: at one point of the street, on the right side, you can see the place where the pharmacy of San Marco used to be (see picture). The pharmacy was once run by the Dominican friars, similar to Santa Maria Novella one.
