Medici Chapels

The Medici Chapels in Florence are a stunning religious and funerary complex built for the powerful Medici family during the Renaissance. They serve as burial sites and showcase elaborate architecture, sculptures, and artwork that reflect the family's wealth and influence. The chapels are divided into two main parts: the New Sacristy, designed by Michelangelo, which houses Medici tombs, and the Chapel of the Princes, a large, ornate mausoleum decorated with gilded details and marble. Together, they exemplify Renaissance artistry and the Medici’s role as patrons of art and culture.
