Tourcaster - Italy - Florence - Basilica di San Lorenzo Audio TourJoin Now to Follow
Great Discoveries audio tour of the Basilica di San Lorenzo provides today’s tourist with the most enjoyable and informative way to visit this resplendent 15th century church. This Italian Renaissance masterpiece was designed and built by Filippo Brunelleschi, the greatest of all the Florentine architects.
