PRIVATE OPENING SAN LORENZO IN MIRANDA IN THE ROMAN FORUM
September 22, 2022
The Church of San Lorenzo in Miranda is one of the hidden treasures of Rome. Overlooking and almost suspended on the Via Sacra of the Roman Forum and recently restored, it was created in the Middle Ages within what remained of the temple that the Roman emperor, Antoninus Pius had dedicated in 141 AD. to his wife Faustina and represents one of the most interesting and original examples of the combination of classical architecture and renaissance-baroque forms.
The building is currently owned by the Ancient Honorables of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Universitas Aromatoriarum Urbis, which also has a museum and a library in the ancient building. A manuscript by Raffaello Sanzio is also mentioned in their archives. It houses works by great masters such as Pietro da Cortona and also enjoys a breathtaking and unique view of the Roman Forum.
