Another place to visit inside what is known as the San Lorenzo complex, is the Laurentian Medici Library. Designed by Michelangelo, this places conserves more than 10,000 manuscripts from the Medici’s times. Impressive? Wait until I tell you that you can actually see some of them - although, in the digital format. The library is progressively digitalising its archive and you can now get digital access to many of the manuscripts!
