20 Aug – Basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina: Audio-guided tour and concert
Enjoy a unique opportunity to visit the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina: a tour with a multilingual audio guide. Beyond the monument itself, you’ll discover a living place, steeped in memories. ‘Beyond the threshold’, an unforgettable experience.
The Basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina, one of the oldest churches in the centre of Rome, overlooks an elegant square that conceals its long history. Its early Christian origins interplay with the Baroque influence that reshaped its spaces, creating a unique blend of history and devotion. Inside, amongst its many wonders, you’ll discover Guido Reni’s Crucifix – a masterpiece of intense spirituality – Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Fonseca Chapel, and the Graticola of the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence, the basilica’s most precious relic. This relic is the focal point of devotion and the history of this unassuming yet spiritually rich place, which reveals itself to those who choose to cross its threshold.
