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. |
