Basilica of San Lorenzo
Piazza di San Lorenzo, 9, 50123 Firenze FI, ItalyThe Basilica di San Lorenzo is one of Florence's largest churches, located in the heart of the city's main market, and is the burial place of all the major members of the Medici family from Cosimo il Vecchio to Cosimo III .
Located close to the Cathedral, the Basilica di San Lorenzo was built to the design of the powerful Medici family that ruled Florence for many years during the Renaissance. Although not as grand and decorative as the Cathedral, this church is still an impressive building with its huge dome and characteristic terracotta tiled roof.
The interior of the church is filled with beautiful works of art and decoration including a gilded and white ceiling and a wonderfully decorated domed interior. Many frescoes and sculptures frame the dome and create an interesting mix of patterns and colors.
Furthermore, a lot of Medici families are buried here and their tombs inside the chapel are quite elaborate.
