Medici Chapels

These magnificent chapels showcase the Renaissance at its most ambitious, with the Sagrestia Nuova featuring Michelangelo's haunting sculptures of Dawn, Dusk, Day, and Night that seem to emerge from their marble tombs. The New Sacristy and Chapel of the Princes together represent the Medici family's boundless wealth and artistic patronage, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and eternally grand. Soft light filters through the space, illuminating the careful geometry and precious marble work that took generations to complete.
