- It was built in the 5th century and was
decorated with the mosaics in 460 by Eastern Roman consul Flavius
Ricimerus. During the domination of the Goths, the church was a
center of the Arian cult in Rome. In 593 it was re-consecrated by St
Gregory I Magno. It was restored and reconstructed several times
until 1633, when cardinal Francesco Barberini ordered its complete
rearrangement, but with the respect to its original plan. The facade
was rebuilt in the 18th century. Inside is a nave and two aisles
divided by 16 granite columns forming six arches. In the apse is a
well-preserved 13th century Cosmatesque tabernacle. A part of the
ancient walls could still be visible from the outside on the right
of the apse.
