Description
A suggestive wide view of the central nave inside the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Lucina (Basilica of St. Lawrence in Lucina), in the Rione Colonna (Colonna District) in the heart of the Eternal City. Originally built in the 4th century, this ancient church was consecrated by Pope Sixtus III in the year 440. It was rebuilt in 1130 during the pontificate of Pope Paschal II and transformed into its current form with a single nave in the 17th century, in baroque style. In the background, above the main altar, the painting of the Crucifix, by the artist Guido Reni (1575-1642). In 1980 the historic center of Rome was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
