San Lorenzo in Fonte, Parish church in Rione Monti, Rome, Italy.
The San Lorenzo in Fonte church features a primary altar with the Baptism of St. Hippolytus painting by Giovanni Battista Speranza in the 17th century.
Cardinal Juan Alvarez de Toledo commissioned the renovation of San Lorenzo in Fonte, leading to its completion in 1656 with architectural work by Domenico Castelli.
The church maintains significance as the location where Saint Lawrence was imprisoned and performed baptisms using water from a miraculous spring.
Located at Via Urbana 49A, the church opens daily from 6:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 22:00, allowing visitors to explore both upper and lower sections.
The underground areas contain the original prison cell of Saint Lawrence and a water source used for baptizing prisoners in the early Christian period.
