Medici Chapels

The Medici Chapels, part of the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, serve as the final resting place for several members of the influential Medici family. This marble-filled mausoleum is a testament to Renaissance artistry, with its New Sacristy housing some of Michelangelo’s most renowned works. Visitors can admire the reclining figures of Night, Day, Dawn, and Dusk, each meticulously sculpted for the tombs of Medici dukes. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship make the chapels a significant site for those interested in the artistic and historical legacy of Florence.
