Chiostro dei Morti, Medieval cloister in Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, Italy.
The square-shaped cloister features octagonal pillars supporting crossed vaults and contains multiple chapels along its eastern wall.
Between 1337 and 1350, Fra Jacopo Talenti directed reconstruction works after floods damaged the original thirteenth-century structure.
The cloister walls display numerous frescoes by Florentine painters, including works from Andrea Orcagna and Nardo di Cione.
The cloister reopened to visitors in 2012 and serves as the first section of the Santa Maria Novella Museum itinerary.
Named Chiostro dei Morti because it functioned as a cemetery for Dominican friars beneath the church level for several centuries.
