Considered one of Florence’s oldest churches, the Basilica di San Lorenzo is closely connected with the powerful Medici family, who commissioned various artworks and a majestic chapel here. Inside, admire Brunelleschi’s elegant Renaissance design, characterized by clean lines and balanced proportions. Donatello’s work is showcased in the Old Sacristy, while Michelangelo’s masterpieces grace the New Sacristy. Nearby, the Laurentian Library, also by Michelangelo, houses rare manuscripts and an iconic staircase, making this entire complex a must-see for art and history enthusiasts. Skip the lengthy queues by arriving early or consider a combined ticket that also grants access to the Medici Chapels, allowing you to fully appreciate the grandeur of this important Florentine landmark.
