The Medici Chapels were added to the church after the 15th century as a burial place of all the principal members of the Medici family from Cosimo il Vecchio to Cosimo III.

Thanks to your Expert Guide, you will learn who the Medici family was, how they became so powerful, and their relationship with Michelangelo, da Vinci, and other great artists of the Renaissance.
