The Museum of Sacred Art of San Gimignano is located in the ancient Dormitory of the Chaplains and holds works from the Collegiata, better known as the Duomo. The museum was established in 1915 at the behest of Cardinal Alessandro Lualdi to enhance and promote knowledge of the historic and artistic heritage of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta and the territory of San Gimignano.
The museum is located on two floors and houses the splendid painting on wood by Bartolo di Fredi depicting the Madonna della Rosa. Take advantage of an audio guide that will accompany you through the masterpieces of the Museum of Sacred Art and the Duomo, which features a cycle of frescoes dedicated to the stories of the Old Testament (found at the entrance on the right) and of the New Testament (on the opposite wall), as well as the Chapel of Santa Fina, a jewel of the Renaissance.
