The Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches in Rome. A Christian house-church was founded on the site around 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I. A larger church was built on the site in 340 by Pope Julius I. Major restorations took place in the fifth and the eight centuries. Pope Innocent II razed and re-erected the church in 1140.
