0 Comments

 

Via del Teatro Marcello
​Opening Hours: 10.00am to 5.00pm

Picture
Known at least  since the end of the 11th century, its name “ in carcere” (in Prison) derives from the apparent existence here of a prison during the 8th century.

The church outstanding characteristics are the Roman temples –of Hope, Juno Sospita and Janus – onto which it was built.

​The temples date from the first half of the 2nd century BC to about 90 BC. It’s possible to  visit the church undergrounds to discover the podiums of the Ancient temples. At the main altar is an antique green porphyry urn. Giacomo Della Porta, who restored the church in 1599, designed its façade.
