Oratory of San Lorenzo, Baroque church oratory in Kalsa district, Palermo, Italy.
The interior contains intricate stucco sculptures created by Giacomo Serpotta, depicting scenes from the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Lawrence.
The Compagnia di San Francesco constructed this religious building in the late 16th century, establishing it as a burial site for impoverished citizens.
Eight large allegorical figures of Virtues adorn the longitudinal walls, while the altar area displays detailed marble work and gilded bronze elements.
The oratory opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with entrance fees of 3 euros for adults and 2 euros for groups of ten or more.
The original Caravaggio Nativity painting, stolen in 1969, remains one of the FBI's most significant unsolved art theft cases.
