Leaned against the church of San Lorenzo, the chapels include two important places for the Medici's history: the New Sacristy and the Chapel of Princes.
The New Sacristy is the funeral chapel wanted in 1521 by the first Medici pope Leone X for his family. The commission was given to Michelangelo who had the occasion of showing his talent as an architect and sculptor creating the statues that adorn the Medici's tomb. Beginning of the '600s the decision to build the Princes' chapel was taken. This was a great mausoleum for the family in Baroque style, but it remained unfinished after the extinction of the Medici in 1737.
