Roma - Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo
The Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo (aka "Santi Giovanni e Paolo al Celio") is an ancient basilica, located on the Celian Hill.
The church was built in 398 over the home of two Roman soldiers (Giovanni and Paolo), martyred in 362. The foundations of this house still exist under the basilica.
The church was damaged during the sack by Alaric I and because of an earthquake (442), restored in the 9th century, sacked again by the Normans (1084), and again restored, with the addition of a monastery and a bell tower seen here.
Unfortunately the basilica was locked.
