- The church was built over another Roman
construction. It was restored in the end of the 16th century by
G.Della Porta. Interior is represented by a hall with a rich golden
ceiling and various Cosmatesque works like high altar, the bishop's
throne, the ambo, the candelabrum, and the fronts of the side-altars.
The apse mosaic was designed and executed by C.d'Arpino. Beneath the
church is a Roman construction with the black-and-white pavement
mosaics. Centuries ago a hospice-hospital was annexed to the church,
but it disappeared some time ago. In front of the facade is a
granite column, which served as a sign for pilgrims to stop here and
have some rest (it was usual for ancient churches).
