A simple puzzle cache at the Basilica of St. Lawrence, a national historic site.
What is a Basilica?
The title dates back to the early Greek and Roman times and referred to a type of public building. In the 4th century, Basilicas began to be used as places of worship. It was during this time that construction of the greatest Basilicas of Rome was started. Today, the term Basilica is a special designation given by the Holy Father to certain churches because of their antiquity, dignity, historical importance or significance as a place of worship.
Presently, there are 56 Basilicas in the United States.
The Basilica of St. Lawrence was completed in 1909 and designed by Raphael Guastavino (1842-1908).
