Santa Maria Novella entry ticket with video tablet guide

This ticket provides access to the Santa Maria Novella complex in Florence, a treasure trove of Italian art, sculpture and architecture, including the exquisite façade designed by Leon Battista Alberti. Your admission encompasses both the municipally-owned Museum of Santa Maria Novella, featuring the Cloister of the Dead, Green Cloister, Spanish Chapel, Ubriachi Chapel and Refectory, and the Basilica and Cemetery of the Avelli, managed by the Opera per Santa Maria Novella.

The experience is enhanced by a video tablet guide that brings the complex's history to life through a combination of text and audio commentary, complemented by an extensive photo gallery and interactive features. This multimedia guide focuses on the masterpieces housed within the church, including the crucifixions by Giotto, Masaccio and Brunelleschi, as well as the artistic cycles created by Andrea di Bonaiuto, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Filippino Lippi. You'll also learn about the illustrious tombs and refined works by Andrea Cavalcanti and Sandro Botticelli.

The multimedia narration helps recreate the artistic, civic and religious unity that makes this Dominican convent one of Florence's most extraordinary cultural sites.
