Overview

Don't miss an opportunity to see Michelangelo's sculptures and architectural design of the Medici Chapels in Florence. This homage to the great Medici leaders is decorated with the masterfully-sculpted allegories of Night, Day, Dawn, and Dusk.

Visit: Cappelle Medicee, Piazza di Madonna Degli Aldobrandini 6, 50123, Florence Italy

The Medici Chapels were built as the personal sepulcher of the Medici family in the Basilica of San Lorenzo, which was considered by the Medici as their private church.
In 1520, Cardinal Giulio de' Medici (who would become Pope Clemente VII) together with Pope Leo X commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti with the building of the Sagrestia Nuova as the mausoleum for the Medici family. The chapel was to form a pendant to Filippo Brunelleschi's Sagrestia Vecchia. Construction began in March 1520 and was finally completed by Giorgio Vasari in 1546, after Michelangelo had left Florence for Rome in 1534.
The chapel was to hold the tombs of the two 'Magnifici' and the two 'Capitani' of the Medici: Lorenzo il Magnifico, his brother Giuliano de' Medici, Lorenzo Duke of Urbino, and Giuliano Duke of Nemours (the third son of the Magnifico).

Such a great time saver to do this one! Day was rainy so being able to use the VIP line was fantastic. Only thing to improve would be to find a way to tell those in line where to meet to avoid confusion at the Chapel.

Trying to get the voucher was a mess. Instruction's were they would be sent 48 hours in advance. They did not. Got an email that just kept linking me back and forth between La Vacanza Travel site and the email link. Had to send five emails trying to get my voucher. Finally the sent it as a pdf to an email. This is not a good service and you do not need to do this just order your voucher directly yourself

One of the most beautiful chapels in Florence. The building is so intricately interesting. Easy to navigate and not crowded.

Skip the line tickets were not available for our visit. When we got there, midmorning, there were only six people in line.

I have read alot of this family and the impact they made on Florence and the renaissance. It was incredible to see where they lie to rest and the unbelievable chapel on the top floor - it is one of the most amazing tributes and art I have ever seen.
