Interior of Pazzi Chapel, Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence [1]

The Pazzi Chapel (Italian: Cappella dei Pazzi) is a chapel located in the "first cloister" on the southern flank of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, Italy.

Commonly credited to Filippo Brunelleschi, it is considered to be one of the masterpieces of Renaissance architecture.°

The Pazzi Chapel was commissioned in 1429 by Andrea Pazzi to serve as the Chapter House, or meeting place of the monks of the Monastery of Santa Croce.

Like nearly all of his works, the actual construction was delayed, beginning only in 1442, and the interior was not finished until 1444. The building was not entirely finished until about 1469, twenty years after his death.
