Located in the Basilica of San Lorenzo, the Medici Chapels are two sumptuous mausoleums that symbolize the Florentine Renaissance. After all, not only do they boast three stunning sculptures by Michelangelo, but they are the eternal resting place of 49 members of the influential Medici family. Skip the line and enter this spectacular Renaissance church.

The Medici Chapels, in Florence, are a must for those visiting the famous Tuscan capital. Built between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and located in the Basilica of San Lorenzo, they stand out thanks to the touch of the great artist Michelangelo, who took care of the mausoleum thanks to the patronage of the Medici family (fundamental in the Renaissance). Today, it is a must-see for all art lovers.

To welcome you inside there is a statue of Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, the last member of the family. It was she who bequeathed the family's entire collection of Florentine art, including Michelangelo's sculptures, on the sole condition that they always remain available to the public. To this day, we are all grateful to her for this gesture. And with these tickets to the Medici Chapels, you'll be able to discover some of this huge and wonderful legacy.

Among the most prominent parts is certainly Michelangelo's New Sacristy, the artist's first grandiose architectural achievement. His innovative approach already anticipated the courageous choices that characterized St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Among the groups of sculptures are Twilight, on the tomb of Lorenzo the Magnificent, Day and Night, on the tomb of Giuliano, Lorenzo's son, and finally Madonna and Child on the altar.
