| description |
The titular church of the Medici family, San Lorenzo is regarded by many as the quintessential
Renaissance church. The rebuilding of the old Romanesque church of San Lorenzo, originally
consecrated by St Ambrose in the 4th century, was largely carried out in the 15th
century, with additions in the 16th and 17th.
