Piazza di Santa Maria Novella
A sunlit piazza where Florence begins. Markets buzz, history lingers, and the marble façade of Santa Maria Novella rises beside you. This is where the Medici story and the Renaissance quietly take root.
The Rise
Leave the piazza behind and slip into Florence’s quieter lanes. As cobblestones echo beneath you, the Medici story unfolds ahead, leading you to the chapels where power, art, and legacy rest in stone.
Cappelle Medicee
Modest on the outside, unimaginable within. Step into the Medici Chapels, where glittering stone, Michelangelo’s masterpieces, and a hidden chamber of secrets reveal the true scale of Medici power.
