Location: In Florence Date: in 1520 In 1534 Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Clement VII to create the library to collect his family's books in the Medicean Basilica di San Lorenzo di Firenze. Where the Medici family moved from merchants to members of Italy's intelligentsia. Michelangelo planned the library and supervised its construction personally for a decade, but then moved to Rome and took over from him the supervision of Giorgio Vasari and Bartolommeo Ammannati under his plans and instructions. It has an entrance designed as a meditation between the inside and the outside, and it has a very huge in width reading room with walls of columns to give a sense of the austerity of the room, and between the columns, there are plain frames. It was designed strictly to free the spirit of the place to meditation (2)

Location: In roma Date: in 1562 Antonio Luduca ordered Michelangelo to design and oversee this church. The baths of Emperor Diocletian were transferred to this church. He did not change the structure of the building and preserve it. The vault and the eight columns have not changed since the eighteenth century and remain in the Baroque style. (3) An evolution in design is the Greek cross, the dominant pavilion, identical chapels located at each end, and the transverse nave effect. The entrance to the church is located inside one of the covered towers, it is simple in design and has a passage with hanging corners. A raised space of the tribune was created 28 meters high, 90.8 meters long and 27 meters wide. Michelangelo was forced to cut Roman columns made of red granite to make the pulpit, but this provided vast cubic spaces at each end of the wing. (4)

Location: In Vatican Date: in 1506 It is the burial site of Saint Peter and is considered one of the most famous works of architecture in the Renaissance and the largest church in the world according to interior measure. It was co-created by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Its location has been a church since the reign of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in the fourth century AD. Pope Paul III succeeded Michelangelo to oversee the building of the church. When he assumed supervision, there were four huge piers on the construction site that rise behind the nave of the remaining church. Michelangelo obtained the blueprints and relied on them to develop the building. He placed the shape of the building on the Greek cross with a huge dome of his design in the middle. The Dome of St. Peter is considered the highest dome in the world, as it was designed following the plan of the dome of the Pantheon, which was built in Roman ancient. Michelangelo designed the dome and merged the dome of Florence with the dome of the Pantheon. it is oval in shape raised by 16 pairs of Corinthian columns and connected by an arch. Michelangelo died before the church was completed and his plans were executed by his assistant, Jacopo Barrosi da Vignola, with Giorgio Vasari. (5)
