Worth it for travellers on a budget, if you've only got a day and couples; not for families with kids.
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
Gozzoli's Magi Chapel is a closet-sized jewel-box where every wall is one dense gold-leaf procession — leopards, brocade, the Medici slipped into the crowd — an immersive, almost claustrophobic richness no larger gallery gives you.
Not independently verified — estimated
Entry to the chapel is timed to a handful of people, so you get this overwhelming little room nearly to yourself.
Not independently verified — estimated
Beyond the chapel and a Baroque gallery there isn't much — it's a single-room destination, so come for the jewel-box and don't expect a full museum.
