• Basilica di San Lorenzo - The Basilica di San Lorenzo (Basilica of St Lawrence) ranks among the largest churches in Florence, Italy, located at the heart of the city’s main market district, and serves as the burial site for all principal members of the Medici family from Cosimo il Vecchio to Cosimo III.

• Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana - The Laurentian Library, constructed under the patronage of the Medici pope Clement VII, was built to signify the Medici’s transition from merchants to members of the intellectual and ecclesiastical society. It houses the manuscripts and books from the Medici family’s private collection. The library is celebrated for its architecture, designed by Michelangelo, and exemplifies Mannerism.

• Cappelle Medicee - The Medici Chapels were constructed between the 16th and 17th centuries as extensions to Brunelleschi’s 15th-century church, intended to honor the Medici family, patrons of the church and Grand Dukes of Tuscany. The Sagrestia Nuova (“New Sacristy”) was designed by Michelangelo himself.

• Gallerie Degli Uffizi - The Uffizi Gallery is an art museum located next to the Piazza della Signoria and is one of Italy’s most important and visited museums. It is also one of the largest and most renowned globally, housing a collection of priceless works, particularly from the Italian Renaissance. The Uffizi complex was initiated by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 for Cosimo I de’ Medici to accommodate the offices of the Florentine magistrates, hence the name uffizi, “offices.”

• Ponte Vecchio - The Old Bridge (“Ponte Vecchio”) is a medieval structure and the oldest bridge over the Arno River in Florence, Italy.

• Corridoio Vasariano - The Vasari’s Corridor is an elevated enclosed passageway in Florence that connects the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti. To enhance prestige and clean up the bridge, in 1593, the Medici Grand Dukes banned butchers from operating there, favoring gold and silver merchants instead.
