"The funerary chapel... is striking for its sheer scale and its sombre aspect. The New Sacristy (built to house the Medici tombs - note the sculpture) is Michelangelo's." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Medici Chapels are two beautiful chapels in the Basilica of San Lorenzo, which set the stage for the Renaissance." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Michelangelo's most mournful works are these intimate tombs of the Medici family, topped with colossal figures of Night, Day, Dusk and Dawn, with a Madonna and Child between them."

Fodor's "The main attraction of this palace, begun in 1444 by Michelozzo for Cosimo de' Medici, is the interior chapel, the so-called Cappella dei Magi on the piano nobile (second) floor." Full review
Concierge "The main reason for visiting this solid 15th-century palazzo, built by Michelozzo, and now the city's prefettura, is to see Benozzo Gozzoli's delightful Cappella dei Magi on the first floor."
Let's Go "Rooms and courtyards on the ground floor host modern sculpture installations, while the halls upstairs exhibit their own walls and ceilings, all splattered with some pretty cool pictures." Full review

"The building's exterior gives little indication as to the splendour which awaits within." Full review
The Telegraph "Masaccio and Masolino’s frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel are better known – and very lovely they are too, breathing the simple humanism of the early Renaissance." Full review
Afar Magazine "Located behind the church of San Lorenzo, this is where many members of the ruling Medici family are buried." Full review
Afar Magazine "The main reason to visit this Renaissance palace is to see the delightful frescoes in the Cappella dei Magi painted by Benozzo Gozzoli." Full review
Frommer's "A door off the right of the entrance courtyard leads up a staircase to the Cappella dei Magi, the oldest chapel to survive from a private Florentine palace." Full review
