Burial place of the Medici family. Also contains a musuem containing numerous medici treasures.
Important: this is not the same as the Medici Chapel! The Medici Chapel is a distinct entrance with a separate entrance fee. The Medici Chapel is great but personally I did not find this to be an impressive church compared to others in Florence or elsewhere in Italy. We did a self-guided audio tour and a guided tour and would not recommend either. Felt like a bit of a waste of time really with so much else to see in Florence!
Very interesting place from historical point of view. Nothing outstanding in comparison with Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce but worth a visit.
Once you get past the rough-hewn exterior (designed by Michaelangelo no less), you find yourself amongst one of the most beautiful church interiors in Florence. You get a combined ticket for the library and cloisters next door
One of my favorite churches in Florence. Not much to look at from the outside, but beautiful on the inside.
Beautiful art work and only €6.50 to go into the church mueseum and courtyard. Its also where the Medicee family are burried!
Lorenzo burial place. Work of Michael Angelo among other famous great artists. Church interior is marble, which feels very different than others.
If you have infinite budget and time and want to see everything in Florence. Otherwise, Basilica Santa Croce is much more interesting.
We were lucky to get the tickets seconds before the closing! You get to see the church, museum and cemetery, and the garden too. I advice to you to put the basilica on your list after duomo and santa croce.
The Medici chapel will take your breath away. Work in the main body of the basilica by so many famous artists is amazing.
Close to the Leather Markets too.
