Basilica dei Santi Silvestro e Martino ai Monti

Really nice church built more recently but with catacombs you can visit.

Let's hope that tourist guides will continue to keep the large group away from this magnificent place. A monument to the early history of Christianity.

Amazing. I have never heard my peer mention this Basilica before. Maybe I am ignorant, but I describe it as a hidden gem. It is a beautiful church with such a rich history. Not only is there a typical church area, but you can go down to other layers that house relics of the past. We went as part of a tour group by City Wonder's.

There is so amazing. I am not usually go to church, but I know it’s so marvelous.

Angelo Paoli, known as the "Father of the poor," is buried in Rome's Basilica of Saints Silvestro and Martino ai Monti. The basilica also houses a reconstruction of his body, honoring his dedication to helping the less fortunate.

Very interesting, not the church itself but the underground building from roman times. There is a prayer room and other buildings below the church, from the 3rd up to 9th century , where Saint Sylvester lived. This gave the church its current name.
Also of interest the mummified body of a holy person from 1700, who is exposed in a glass coffin with his original shoes !

Not only was the church itself interesting, but the underground Roman structure added to the experience of this place. It mostly feels like an ancient Roman home and a little place of worship (either during the Roman times or converted later, not sure). You really feel history all around you when visiting - highly recommend!

You have to go underground and find there a lot of artefacts. Roman ancient house, early Christian church, and you will feel the real Rome base there, through the centures. Enjoy!
