Basilica of San Lorenzo
It is one of the largest and oldest churches in Florence. The first church was built here at the end of the IV century, then rebuilt in the XI century in the Romanesque style. The modern Renaissance building was erected in the 15th century by the famous architect Filippo Brunelleschi. Inside the temple are decorated with numerous works of art by Donatello, Michelangelo, Verocchio and other artists. Like the Duomo, Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella, this church was to receive a facade of Carrara marble.→

Basilica of San Lorenzo
The Basilica of San Lorenzo was the main cathedral of Florence until the construction of the Duomo. Then the Medici became trustees of the church and rebuilt it with their own money and donations from wealthy families. And as a reward, they received the right to a family chapel inside the basilica (see Medici Chapels). Brunelleschi led the reconstruction work. The basilica is worth visiting. It contains a sufficient number of masterpieces of the Renaissance. But if you are limited in time, then (as for my taste) it is still preferable to visit only the Medici Chapels.→
