S. Lorenzo in Miranda

A fuller website is on its way; the first step toward it is to provide you with some collected source material.

	Since S. Lorenzo started life as a Roman temple, your logical first stop for detailed information will be the article in Platner and Ashby's Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome.
	My Web transcriptions of Christian Hülsen's Le Chiese di Roma nel Medio Evo and Mariano Armellini's Le Chiese di Roma are each for the moment only partly online: but they do both include cross-linked sections on this church.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)

10, via in Miranda
Rione I Monti (in Antiquity: Regio VIII Forum Magnum)

Nearest subway station: Colosseo, walk W 400 m on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, then S a short ways to the entrance, although the church is usually closed. The best views of the building as a temple are from inside the Forum, or from across it on the Palatine or a lookout on the Tarpeian (SE) side of the Capitoline.

Bus lines: 51, 75, 85, 87, 118 — or see official ATAC map.
