San Lorenzo, Romanesque church and shrine in Porto Venere, Italy.
The San Lorenzo church features a facade with alternating white and black stone bands and three interior naves constructed in the Romanesque style.
Pope Innocent II consecrated the San Lorenzo church in 1130, establishing it as a central religious structure in the Porto Venere region.
The Madonna Bianca image, displayed in a white marble frame at the right aisle, represents a fundamental element of local religious traditions.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours that explain its architectural features and religious significance throughout the year.
A cedar trunk from Lebanon, arriving in 1204, contained a gold cross with gems and a colored parchment depicting the Madonna and Child.
