San Pancrazio, Florence, Former church and museum in central Florence, Italy

The San Pancrazio building features a four-level layout combining the original church architecture with modern exhibition spaces for sculpture collections.

The church dates back to 931, with documentation suggesting its establishment during Charlemagne's time, and underwent significant renovations in the 14th century.

The Rucellai Chapel contains a marble sepulchre designed by Leon Battista Alberti in 1467, replicating the dimensions of Christ's tomb in Jerusalem.

Visitors can access the Renaissance Rucellai Chapel through the Marino Marini Museum, which occupies the main space of this deconsecrated church.

The building served multiple functions throughout its history, including a lottery office, a tribunal, and a tobacco factory before becoming an art museum.
