The interior of the San Lorenzo basilica (Peter K Burian/CC BY-SA 4.0)

The Basilica of San Lorenzo is one of the largest, and most recognizable, churches in Florence, Italy. Situated in the center of the main market district of the city, it was the parish church of the Medici family and features the historically defining dome covering the Medici Chapels that can be seen from across the city. The large monastic complex is home to other important architectural and artistic works. Italian Renaissance art expert Rocky Ruggiero highlights San Lorenzo’s treasures, including Brunelleschi’s Old Sacristy, decorations and sculptures by Donatello, the Laurentian Library by Michelangelo, the Medici Chapels, the New Sacristy, and the Chapel of the Princes.
