This unique small Romanesque church is located the heart of the historical center, adjacent to the famous basilica of San Andrea. I have no idea if the church is open every day, I visited one morning during the bank holiday. Really very characteristic already admiring the outside with its many small which is built with bricks, but internally it struck me the most, a circular structure and can be visited just by walking along the circular corridor. Small and dark but really exciting, it's like being hundreds of years back in time.
Very simple, small, and touching. If you come in Mantova take your time to visit this churc, one of the most beautiful churches you can find!
The Rotonda di San Lorenzo is located in city centre, close to Paizza Erbe, very easy to find. The architecture of the curch is really amazing and it must be visited. In addition in the area you will find a lot of nice bars where it is worth to stop buy and enjoy a drink.
Nice little round church to visit, no fee to pay. Interesting and laernfull. You can choose to give a tip but it's not obliged.
The Rotonda di San Lorenzo is easy to find as it stands out in being the only round building in the Piazza Erbe. It has great historical and architectural interest and is a beautiful oasis from the bustle of the town.
It is stunning that this beautiful round church could come to life again after all that happened to the building through all these centuries.It can be magic if you have the chance to sit there alone in silence before one more group gets in...
...but there were works of renovation inside so we coudn't visit it. But from outside it's pretty, it's a small Church but well kept.
It is round (= "rotonda"), it goes deep down in the ground (sign that it is really ancient), it is simple and visit can take less than 15 minutes with no guide. You can see the structure of the plant and pay attention to ancient paintings on the walls, but they are few. No furnitures nor other decoration : just the pleisure to admire one of the most ancient example of romanesque art in Italy.Important : this monument is kept by the Dominican fraternity, there is no ticket, just a free offer (please, leave something...).
虽然从外表上看起来并不起眼,也许就连内部也好像乏善可陈。但其实只要稍微了解一下它的历史,就会发现它在古建筑史上的辉煌。中世纪的壁画已经脱落的所剩无几,但是从残壁上还是可以追寻出当年的缤纷。这些壁画是现存少有的中世纪伦巴第大区罗马式绘画艺术之一。
It's historical, right at the plaza. Free entrance. Impressive! Four kinds of language introduction. Must visit place.
