San Lorenzo, Neoclassical church in Ghisalba, Italy.

The San Lorenzo church exhibits a grand Pantheon-inspired design with fourteen Corinthian columns forming an entrance pronaos and a central illuminated cupola.

Construction of the present church structure began in 1821 under architect Luigi Cagnola's direction and reached completion with consecration in 1834.

The interior features frescoes by Francesco Tencalla from 1828 to 1830 and altarpieces from the previous church painted by Giovanni Paolo Cavagna.

The church stands in Piazza Giovanni XXIII within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bergamo and maintains regular religious services for the local community.

The church structure rises from the foundations of an ancient temple dedicated to the Roman deity Jove, connecting classical and Christian architectural traditions.
