If you want to extend the Florence walking tour, you might stroll through the bustling San Lorenzo market, the must-go place to buy gourmet food, clothing, souvenirs, and last but not least, excellent leather goods. It is located near the San Lorenzo church, the burial place of the Medici Family that presents a stunning interior with fine examples of Mannerist art. In close connection with the adjoining church of San Lorenzo are The Medici Chapels, part of a monumental complex developed over almost two centuries. These two structures of the Basilica were built with the purpose of celebrating the Medici family and host priceless artistic treasures. Once private, they are now open to visitors: “New Sacristy” was designed by Michelangelo, “Chapel of the Princes” by the architect Matteo Nigetti following the designs of the family. Then we can go ahead visiting Santa Maria Novella, the first great basilica in Florence that among the numerous gems houses also one of the oldest pharmacies in the world.
