Santa Sabina: ****

3/4/2018

piazza Pietro d’Illiria;
Opening Hours: 7:00am to noon; 4:00 to 7:00pm

Built at the beginning of the 5th century by peter of Illyria over the site of a Roman house.

​From 1914-19 and 1936-38 it was restored to its original 5th century design and therefore represents  the most perfect example of a 5th century Christian basilica. Noteworthy are its 24 fluted columns; a door in cypress wood with mosaics above the tessellated marble in the arches of the center nave –all of the 5th century; 9th century windows with selenite; a beautiful 13th century cloister; and remains of of Roman house.
