This tiny room in the Medici Chapel is just large enough to hold a coffin. On the wall is a bust of Galileo to record the fate of the great scientist’s corpse hidden here in 1642. It took nearly a century for his remains to finally receive a Christian burial inside Santa Croce. #florence

I’ve always found the statue of Julius II on his tomb by Michelangelo to be uniquely interesting among funerary depictions of Popes.
