The Basilica is like a museum. It is filled with works of art: paintings, sculptures, frescoes and more. Here is a small sample.

| We liked this painting, especially for its unique soft red coloring. |

| Another great painting of the unflappable Saint Lawrence. "I'm well done on this side. Turn me over!" |
