Among its treasures once were the three reliquaries painted by Fra Angelico, but they are now at S.Marco.It has still rich vestments, fine woodwork, and a gay and elaborate lavabo by one of the della Robbias, with its wealth of ornament and colour and its charming Madonna and Child with angels.
A little doorway close by used to lead to the cloisters, and a mercenary sacristan was never far distant, only too ready to unlock for a fee what should never have been locked, and black with fury if he got nothing.

But all this has now been done away with, and the entrance to the cloisters is from the Piazza, just to the left of the church, and there is a turnstile and a fee of fifty centimes.

At S.Lorenzo the cloisters are free.

At the Carmine and the Annunziata the cloisters are free.

At S.Croce the charge is a lira and at S.Maria Novella half a lira.
