If you've heard of the Medici Family but aren't clear on how influential and wealthy they were, a visit to the Medici Chapels will give you a clearer idea.

In the 16th century, Michelangelo personally designed and worked on the New Sacristy, commissioned by Pope Leo X to honour the dukes Giuliano and Lorenzo.

Later, the Princes' Chapel, una maestosa costruzione che ha la seconda cupola più grande in città dopo quella del Duomo. L’interno di questa cappella è interamente decorato a commesso fiorentino through whom the famous Opificio delle Pietre Dure was founded.

The visit begins inside the crypt where the Medici Grand Dukes are buried and where the remains of the Lorena family, their successors, lie. We continue inside to the Chapel of the Princes to admire the Florentine mosaic created with marble and semi-precious stones and then conclude in Nuova Sagrestia di Michelangelo's room, decorated entirely with marble sculptures.
