Enter the world of the Medici family with a tour of the Medici Chapels and San Lorenzo Square. See famous sculptures, like Day, Night, Dawn, and Dusk, designed by Michelangelo in the New Sacristy. Admire the gemstone-studded Cappella dei Principi, which led to the creation of the Factory of Hard Stones in 1588, with the aim to make, find, and work with the stones needed to decorate the chapel.
Go below the chapels to the crypt, where the Medici family is buried. Get to know new details about how they lived-. It’s a fascinating look at the dynasty’s legacy, tucked beneath the grandeur above.
Wrap up with a guided walk along Piazza di San Lorenzo. Stroll past the San Lorenzo Church and Palazzo Medici Riccardi, as your guide brings their rich and fascinating history to life by providing a glimpse into the secrets and rivalries of the Medici family, including stories of poisonings and betrayals.
