The Medici Chapels in the Basilica of San Lorenzo are a magnificent Renaissance landmark and a tribute to the powerful Medici family. These two stunning chapels, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, serve as the final resting place for 49 Medici members, including a statue of Anna Maria Luisa de Medici, who gifted the family’s art collection to Florence for public enjoyment. Michelangelo's brilliance is on full display in the Sagrestia Nuova, his first architectural project, which hints at his later innovations at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Highlights include three captivating sculpture groups: Dawn and Dusk on Lorenzo il Magnifico's tomb, Night and Day on Giuliano’s sarcophagus, and the unfinished Madonna and Child. This site remains a must-see for art lovers and history enthusiasts exploring Florence’s Renaissance treasures
