The pride of the palace, however, is the chapel designed by Michelozzo. Here you will see the Three Magi riding to Bethlehem, a work by Benozzo Gozzoli, the Florentine painter and pupil of Fra Angelico.

The refined elegance of these frescoes, painted between 1459 and 1460, is in perfect keeping with the ambitions of the Medici Princes, and the cycle is a very detailed document of the life of the court at the time. It includes many portraits, not only of Medici personages like Piero, the son of Cosimo il Vecchio, and Lorenzo the Magnificent, but there are portraits of other notables, like the Emperor of Constantinople, John VIII, or Galeazzo Sforza, son of the Duke of Milan, Francesco Sforza, and Sigismundo Malatesta, a nobleman from Rimini.
