Lonely Planet review

Just to the left of the church is the Chiostro Verde (Green Cloister), one of the most beautiful and tranquil spaces in Florence, and so named because Paolo Uccello used a green earth pigment in his frescoes, lending the place an air of otherworldliness. The museum itself has bits and bobs removed from the church.

There are more wonderful frescoes, by Andrea di Buonaiuto, in the divinely serene Cappellone degli Spagnoli (Spanish Chapel), which served as the HQ for the Inquisition when it came to town.
