ORATORY OF THE HOLY SACRAMENT AND THE FIVE WOUNDS

ORATORIO DEL SS. SACRAMENTO E DELLE CINQUE PIAGHE


Beginning of 1600 for the Arciconfraternita del SS. Sacramento (Confraternity of the Holy Sacrament) founded in 1501 by four faithful men and a priest at S. Lorenzo in Damaso to spread the cult of the Sacrament and to accompany the Viaticum that was brought to the dying

It was restored and renovated in 1863 by Luigi Tedeschi who also reversed the orientation of the building

Now it is home to the Scout Group Opera Regina Apostolorum
