The Medici Chapels
The Medici Chapels represent one of the most extraordinary monumental complexes in Florence, located within the Basilica of San Lorenzo. This mausoleum dedicated to the Medici family, rulers of Florence from the 15th to the 17th century, is composed of two main sections: the New Sacristy, a masterpiece by Michelangelo, and the Chapel of the Princes, a splendid example of Florentine Baroque art. The complex is not just a burial site, and this itinerary will guide you through the discovery of Medici political power and artistic patronage.
