Basilica di San Lorenzo
One of the most important Florentine Renaissance building bound up with the history of the Medici family. The basilica consacreted by Saint Ambrose in 393 and rebuilt in a Romanesque form in the 11th century, was enlarged in 1418 by Filippo Brunelleschi to a commission by Giovanni dei Medici. The church is one of the finest expressions of Renaissance architecture and art.

Completely accessible. Access from the square to the churchyard and the cloister using a rather steep ramp (on the left-hand side of the basilica). The church is today accessible thanks to a ramp located on the right-hand side, which is also the entrance for churchgoers.
To visit the Treasury Museum, people in wheelchairs can take the stair lift. Inside the church, there are ramps between the different levels.
