The church of San Lorenzo Martyr dates back to the eighteenth century.
It is part of the Navone design of the new city of San Lorenzo Nuovo and the square with its particular octagonal shape.
The church has a nave with side chapels.
Inside there are many works of earlier periods including two important paintings by Jacopo Zucchi, an altarpiece with the Martyrdom of San Lorenzo and a marble bust of Pope Pius VI attributed to Canova.
The polychrome wooden crucifix of the twelfth century was an object of deep veneration by the inhabitants.
On the main entrance is visible the coat of arms of Pope Pius VI who had sought the realization of the church.
