Florence can't miss Michelangelo's day and night. How can Michelangelo's fans miss his classic sculptures: Day, Night, Morning, and Twilight? Where are the four sculptures? Inside the church of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy. San Lorenzo Church (Basilica di San Lorenzo) is an ancient church, the family church of the Medics. It was built in 393 AD and re-expanded in 1095 and 1461, respectively, until it was finally completed in 1740, during which it was transformed by several masters such as Brunelleski and Michelangelo. The family chapel is divided into two parts: three spaces with different architectural styles (the old chamber of the Holy Organ built by Brunienesky (The Sagrestia Vecchia), the new chamber of the Holy Organ built by Michelangelo (Sagrestia Nuova), and the 17th century Monarch's chapel (Cappella dei Principi). [Part 1: Old Holy Chamber] The church is a Latin cross structure, which is the direction of the long cross wing seen through the gate, directly ahead of the main altar, and there is a large mural of the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence on the dome of the main altar. On the left hand side of the main altar (from the main entrance), the old sacrament chamber (The Sagrestia Vecchia or Old Sacristy) designed by Brunelleszi in 1421, is also a typical Renaissance building. The reason why it is called the Old Sacred Chamber is because more than 90 years later, Michelangelo built a "new Sacred Chamber" in a symmetrical position. [Part II: New Holy Collection Room] The New Holy Collection Room is the most important area to visit in the Church of San Lorenzo, because there are four sculptures Michelangelo designed for the tombs of members of the Medici family, named after four times in a day. The two statues of men and women in front of the tomb of Giuliano de Medici (Duke of Nemur), "Day" and "Night", and Lorenzo II de Medici (Duke Urbino) in front of the tomb, "Morning" and "Twilight". 【Part III: Monarch Chapel】 The octagonal Monarch Chapel, breathtaking dome! There is a 59-meter high design, so our wide-angle lens can not be finished, it is amazing. The paintings were painted on the dome, and under it were six ornate and huge marble sarcophagus, reflecting the aesthetic taste of the time, but interestingly, the inside was empty, and the remains of Medici were actually buried in the grave below. [Attraction Information] Address: Piazza San Lorenzo Arrival: Take bus 6, 10, 11, 31 and 32 to Piazza S'lorenzo Station. Opening hours: Monday to Saturday 10:00-17:00, Sunday 13:30-17:30; November-February closed every Sunday; May 12, May 29, August 10, August 15 closed all day.

    Lorenzo is the church of the Medici family and the chapel of the family. The church is relatively low-key, calm, and the surface mechanism is the popular element at the time. The dome is small and exquisite.

    The church of San Lorenzo is also a very good historical building, the cathedral belongs to a very good place, the whole church is also very novel, some murals are very interesting, and you can see a lot of religious things.

    The church of San Lorenzo, designed by Michelangelo, although the appearance is flat but the status is still very high, the church also has the medal of the Medici family, the pill is the symbol of the earliest Medici to make a fortune.

    This is the worship Hall of the Medici family. The Medici family is a godlike existence. Without Medici, we can't say there is no Renaissance, but it will be delayed for many years at least. The outside is simple and unadorned, without redundant decoration, but simple and elegant, full of history. Just in time for Easter Eve, I went in and felt it.

    The facade of the church is very ordinary and looks a little rough, but this is what the Italian church looks like in general. The church is funded by the Medici family, and part of it (Sagrestia Vecchia is said to be the little dome next to it) was designed by Brunelleschi, which is also the most worthwhile place to visit. Michelangelo is said to have redesigned the facade for the church, but It was not built for various reasons.
