Churches
San Lorenzo fuori le Mura (Piazzale di San Lorenzo)
This primitive basilica was erected in 330 by Constantine at the burial place of San Lorenzo. Later, behind this one, Sesto III had a second church built, and dedicated it to the Virgin between 432 and 440. In the twelfth century the apses were built and the two building were united; with a doorway and a Roman belltower added. Often redesigned, the church was damaged by the bombings of 1943 and restored once more in 1949. |
