Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), was one of the creative giants whose achievements mark the High Renaissance. He excelled in each of the fields of painting, sculpture and architecture and his achievements brought about significant changes in each area. His architectural fame lies chiefly in two buildings:- the interiors of the Laurentian Library and its lobby at the monastery of San Lorenzo in Florence, and the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome. St Peter's was "the greatest creation of the Renaissance"

I would have to say that the MOST FAMOUS piece of Renaissance Architecture is probably "The Leaning Tower of Pizza", only because of the fact that more common people know about this structure by name than any of the more magnificent structures.
One of MY personal favorites is:
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence
