The Museum of the Cappelle Medicee consists of the funeral chapels of the Medici family at the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, declared national monument and transformed into a state museum in 1869 for their fundamental artistic and historical meaning, as recognized by the then-recently-united Italy.

The visit starts from the Medici Crypt, where the Grand Dukes and their families are buried, from Cosimo I to Gian Gastone, after whom the dynasty came to an end in 1737. On the upper floor stands the Cappella dei Principi, the mausoleum of the Medici Grand Dukes, dazzling with multi-coloured marbles and hardstones, crafted by the highly-specialized grand-ducal workshop; started in the Baroque period, the chapel was completed with the frescoed dome b
