Such a magnificent building. The interior of the church was so calm and serene. I was able to send up a prayer and light a candle 🕯 as well. Definitely worth visiting.

This church of St Cosmas and Damien has some unique hidden treasures.. The stones of antiquity., statue of St Francis of Assisi, Scene of Jesus's Nativity, unique art and architecture. Its very near to Coloseum and Foro Romano. If you find some time. Do visit.

highly recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time. Weekdays are much better than weekends.

Special artwork. Pay the euro to illuminate the fresco.
We went late in the day after the groups.

This was a bit of a find. We we sitting down on a wall near the Roman Forum and just saw this Basilica and thoughts we’d visit. Firstly there is a really nice courtyard inside. Inside there is a room with a model of a Roman scene. The Basilica itself is beautiful with a fabulous frieze on the ceiling. Well worth a visit.

Free, fast, and fabulous! They have some nice mosaics and paintings to see. You can also look into an ancient section next it from the back of the sanctuary portion of the church. Recommend stopping by while near the colosseum!
