REAL CHIESA DI SAN LORENZO
Church with an octagonal plan housing 7 votive chapels and a high altar
Called Real Chiesa because of its proximity to the Royal Palace, it blends so well with the whole of Piazza Castello that it would go almost unnoticed. However, it is recognizable thanks to the dome, a baroque masterpiece. San Lorenzo has an octagonal plan around which are grafted seven votive chapels and the high altar. The internal decoration creates impressive optical effects: it almost looks like you can see dragon eyes and dragon mouths in the dome!

La façade est trés jolie, colorée. On ne voit pas au premier coup d oeil qu il s agit d une église.
L interieur est splendide.
