9San Lorenzo Fuori le Mura

San Lorenzo Fuori le Mura, just outside of Rome, was built by Constantine over the tomb of St. Lawrence, one of the first deacons of Rome and a martyr. Today it remains a shrine to the saint, as well as St. Stephen and St. Justin, and serves as an important place of pilgrimage. Its location just outside of the city makes it a peaceful escape from the bustling crowds of central Rome.
