San Lorenzo in Piscibus, Romanesque church near Saint Peter's Square, Rome, Italy

The San Lorenzo in Piscibus features three naves supported by ancient columns and contains a tall bell tower with mullioned windows.

The church dates back to 1143, when it was first documented as S. Laurentius in porticu maiore near major trade routes.

In 1983, Pope John Paul II reconsecrated the building as a center for youth ministry under the Centro San Lorenzo organization.

Located at Via P. Pancrazio Pfeiffer 24, this church remains partially concealed from the main Via della Conciliazione street.

The name 'in Piscibus' refers to its location near a former fish market, connecting the religious structure to local commerce history.
