Help me find Cappella Brancacci on my map
 
Hi- I can't seem to find the Cappella Brancacci on my map of Florence.
Could someone give me a major land mark or major street, near by.
Thanks
Fluffy

It's inside the Chiesa Santa Maria del Carmine. (On the piazza of the same name.) Definitely go; I've seen it several times and it still moves me. A preview is at:

You probably can't find it because that name may not be on the map because it's inside that church. It's on the other side of the river, not too far NW of the Pitti Palace. The closest bridge is the Ponte alla Carraia

Walk over Ponte Santa Trinita to the Oltrarno. Turn right onto Via Santo Spirito. If you make a right onto one of the side streets of Santo Spirito you will eventually come to Piazza Santo Spirito and the church of the same name. Walk across the square and turn right onto Agostino. You will come to the crossroads of Serragu and Agostino. Walk ahead to Santa Monaco. The Brancacci Chapel is in the Church of Santa Maria Del Carmine. You will see a side door that leads to the chapel.
