San Lorenzo's façades and New Sacristy

San Lorenzo pairs an unfinished exterior with an interior shaped by Brunelleschi and later Medici additions, including Michelangelo's New Sacristy across the transept.

San Lorenzo's façades and New Sacristy

Why go

The contrast between the church's plain outer face and its carefully ordered interior is part of San Lorenzo's character. Inside, the New Sacristy was built as a Medici mausoleum and deliberately answers Brunelleschi's Old Sacristy across the transept. Seeing both spaces turns an apparently simple church visit into a comparison between early Renaissance proportion and Michelangelo's more sculptural architecture.
