The beautiful Renaissance building was designed by Michelozzo and payed by Cosimo il Vecchio de' Medici for the Dominicans and hosts the museum dedicated to an important guest of the friary: the painter friar Beato Angelico.
In the guest room, on the ground floor, are gathered altar stakes painted by the painter for city churches and the neighbourhood. These are masterly examples of his adherence to the new style of the '400s and of his decorative skill in late Gothic taste. On the first floor cells with fresco paintings with evangelical subjects were done for his brothers, where the style is more austere in respect to the rules of the ordering.
