Cenacolo di Ognissanti Florence

Enjoy a Last Supper

Francesco from Florence

""Cenacolo di Ognissanti" is just the place for you if you're in Florence and love art. This is a masterpiece that most tourists (or locals!) don't see..."

There is a hidden art masterpiece in the very centre of Florence that most of the tourists don't see. Actually, it's so hidden that even many people from Florence don't know it. I bumped into by chance when, a few years ago, I was taking a Saturday morning stroll with my friends. We saw an open gate leading to a Cenacolo (a fresco representing The Last Supper) painted by the very important renaissance artist Domenico Ghirlandaio. Before getting to the fresco, we passed through the nice cloister of a small monastery and I remember we were astonished both by its beauty and by the fact that we had no idea such a place existed (and it was in a part of the town we knew so well!).

If you like art or just need to take a break from mass-tourism, I really recommend this spot. Entrance is free of charge (but you can leave a donation), open only on Mondays and Saturdays from 09:00 to 13:00.

Florence Spotter Francesco

About me I was born and raised in this town and, after spending an almost-two-year-long spell working in Bratislava, I settled back in my hometown, working first as a business consultant and then as an administrative in a large company. I am book-addicted, so I spend a lot of my free time reading. I also love to watch and play (but mainly watch) football, supporting the local team: Fiorentina. Why Florence? Florence, even more than other old towns, is a two-faced town: one face (nicely displayed) is for tourists, while the other one (often well hidden) is...
