Basilica di San Lorenzo
Church of the Medici
Back to Basilica di San Lorenzo
The unfinished exterior facade is entirely misleading. The beauty to be beheld inside both architecturally and artistically is absolutely breath taking. If you are at all religiously inclined you are in for a moment of grace the minute you enter this moving church. The divine presence will surround you with the exquisite works of Donatello and many other artists of the Quadracento. Come in a give your heart and soul a lift. You will never forget it.

My friend & I went inside to admire the architecture of San Lorenzo, but we didn't go to see the museum nearby. I hope next time I'll visit it & few other things here.

I use to love sitting in from of San Lorenze with my girlfriends after school eating gelato. This spot brings back so many memories. The is a lot of shade in this area if you just want to relax. Also there are alot of street vendors.

My FAVORITE church in Italy thus far. I have been here 3 times and each time, tears were brought to my eyes. Works by Donatello, Michelangelo, and Brunelleschi intrigue and amaze! I took all my guests to the first Renaissance Church. The facade designed by Michelagelo was never carried out and the exterior isn't impressive, but once inside you'll be amazed!
