Convent of San Marco
Founded in the thirteenth century, the convent was restored and enlarged by Michelozzo in 1437, according to the wishes of Cosimo the Elder.
The simple cloisters and unadorned cells serve as backdrop to a cycle of devotional frescoes painted by Beato Angelico between 1438 and 1445.
Inside the convent one finds the elegant Library planned by Michelozzo in 1448, containing ancient miniature codicils.
This was the first public library of the Renaissance. |
