Cappelle Medicee, Florence Overview
The Cappelle Medicee or the Medici Chapels are located next to Florence's Basilica of San Lorenzo. This was the burial place of the wealthy Medici family, which has now been converted into a museum. Dazzling semiprecious stones are studded into the marble and granite interior. Some of Michelangelo's delicate sculptures are also placed inside.
Higher members of the Medici dynasty (1434 - 1737) are buried here in the Segrestia Nuova and the Capella di Principia. The tombs of minor members are laid inside the crypt. The Segrestia Nuova or the New Sacristy was the first architectural work of Michelangelo. This is where Lorenzo and his sons are interred, and here you will find Michelangelo's sculptures like Dusk and Dawn, Night and Day, and Madonna and Child. The Capella di Principia, or the Chapel of the Princes, was built by the architect Matteo Nigetti.
