( Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina 16; 8am-8pm; Via del Corso)
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 what is a very pretty church, complete with Romanesque bell tower and a
long 12th-century columned portico.
Inside, the otherwise standard baroque decor 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.
