San Lorenzo is one of the oldest church sites in Florence, originally consecrated all the way back in 393 AD, long before it became associated with the Medici. The current basilica dates to a 1419 rebuilding financed by Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, the family patriarch, and designed by the architect Filippo Brunelleschi, though funding problems meant the building wasn't actually completed until 1470, decades after Brunelleschi himself had died.
Walk into the square outside and look up at the church's facade, and you'll notice it's just rough, unfinished brick rather than the marble you might expect on a church this significant. That's not an accident or decay: in 1518, the Medici pope Leo X commissioned Michelangelo to design a grand white marble facade for the church, but the project was abandoned and the facade was simply never built, leaving San Lorenzo looking, by design or by circumstance, exactly as it has for the last 500 years.
The market stalls and daily bustle of San Lorenzo Square today sit on ground that's been a parish center for the Medici family for generations, which makes walking the neighborhood before stepping into the chapels themselves a genuinely useful way to understand how deeply this one family was woven into a single Florentine district, not just the grander palaces across town.
