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.
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.
