The Church of San Lorenzo in Florence was the
site of significant architectural activity during the 15th
and early 16th centuries. Filippo Brunelleschi designed the
church, including the Old Sacristy. Michelangelo designed the
New Sacristy (The Medici Tombs), and the Laurentian Library,
as well a model for the facade that was never built. |
