The Basilica of San Lorenzo was the main cathedral of Florence until the construction of the Duomo. Then the Medici became trustees of the church and rebuilt it with their own money and donations from wealthy families. And as a reward, they received the right to a family chapel inside the basilica (see Medici Chapels). Brunelleschi led the reconstruction work.
The basilica is worth visiting. It contains a sufficient number of masterpieces of the Renaissance. But if you are limited in time, then (as for my taste) it is still preferable to visit only the Medici Chapels.
