San Marco is a museum of Florence, which today is housed in an ancient Dominican monastery, founded in the XII century. In the XV century the monastery was rebuilt by order of Pope Eugene IV and with the funding of Cosimo Medici the Elder. Michelozzo worked on the project, and after the reconstruction, Cosimo donated to the monastery also part of the collection of books by Niccolo Niccoli, which eventually contributed to the Laurentian Library. The monastery of San Marco is also known for the fact that in the XV century lived here the infamous arbitrary monk Savonarola.→
