Lonely Planet review for Chiesa di San Lorenzo in Lucina

Little remains of the original 5th-century church that was built here atop an ancient well sacred to Juno. But that shouldn’t detract from the very pretty exterior, complete with a Romanesque bell tower and a long 12th-century columned portico. Inside, the otherwise standard baroque décor is elevated by Guido Reni’s Crocifisso (Crucifixion) above the main altar, and a fine bust by Bernini in the fourth chapel on the southern side. The French painter Nicholas Poussin, who died in 1655, is buried in the church.
