Super interesting place to visit in Rome. A walk through Via Appia is also really enjoyable. A visit to the Mausoleo Romulus and outdoor park recommended.

The Basilica of St Sebastian at the Catacombs is dedicated to the Roman martyr who was tied to a tree and shot with arrows.

The church is home to the Bust of the Saviour (Salvator Mundi), the last sculpture created by baroque master Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who died at the age of 81.

If u r searching for a visit of Rome off the usual attractions, this is a must go to. One of the first catacombs (8 euro per head) which houses the remains of st Sebastian and a wonderfully preserved Roman necropolis. It also has the last work of Bernini titled Salvatore mundi and also the famous quo Vadis footprints of Christ. From colosseum, this place is a 15 mins bus ride (118) One of the oldest catacombs and an Awesome place to visit. Blessed.

The church is home to two beautiful 17th century sculptures, one of Christ by that genius of the Baroque, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and the other of St Sebastian by a much less well-known sculptor, Giuseppe Giorgetti.

Definitely the less flashy of the 7 Churchs in Rome. But it is wonderful to see the sculpture and Jesus footsteps.

A wonderful place to visit. They have relics of St Sebastian and a casting of Jesus’ “Quo Vadis” footprints. There’s also a beautiful marble sculpture of St Sebastian. You should visit the adjacent catacombs as well.
