Modification to the visitor route
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.
Bardi Chapel under restoration
We inform visitors that the Bardi chapel is now closed for restoration. The Giotto frescoes with the Stories of Saint Francis will not be visible for the duration of the restoration period.
Handling of works of art
Henry Moore's Warrior with Shield (1972), after a period of maintenance, is currently located in Palazzo Vecchio, in the Terrazza di Saturno, where the sculptor himself desired it.
