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.

10, via in Miranda
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. |
