Work is currently underway to improve the accessibility of the monumental complex by removing architectural barriers and creating a new visitor route. After visiting the Basilica and the Sacristy, the route continues by exiting the basilica and re-entering Arnolfo’s cloister through an external passageway.

All areas will remain open to visitors, but the visitor route may be subject to temporary changes. Additionally, during certain times of the day, the construction work may cause noise disturbances.
