Lonely Planet review for Chiesa e Scavi di San Lorenzo Maggiore
A masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, the Chiesa e Scavi di San Lorenzo Maggiore dates to the late 13th century. Inside, note the impressive 14th-century mosaic-covered tomb of Catherine of Austria. You can also pass through to the cloisters of the neighbouring convent, where the poet Petrarch stayed in 1345.
