Church and convent of San Domenico

The convent was built between 1406 and 1435 and here studied two important Dominican monks such as Antonino Pierozzi and Giovanni da Fiesole, also called Beato Angelico, the famous Renaissance friar-painter.

The convent and the church still have some works by Beato Angelico: the triptych, named Pala di San Domenico a Fiesole (in the church, left nave), the Blessing Virgin and the Crucifix (in some not visible areas of the convent). The front porch and the belltower of the church were done by Antonio Nigetti (XVII century).

The Sala del Capitolo, where Beato Angelico's monumental crucifix is kept, will be open to visitors from 4 October 2025 and throughout 2026, every Saturday from 3pm to 7pm. The Sala will be closed to visitors on Saturday 28 March 2026 and Saturday 4 April 2026 due to Easter services. It will reopen to the public as usual on Saturday 11 April 2026, during normal opening hours.
