​Santi Quattro Coronati: *****

3/4/2018

0 Comments

 

Via dei santi Quattro, 20
​Opening  Hours: 9:00 am to 12:30; 3:30 to 5:30pm

Picture
Erected in the 4th century, enlarged in the 9th, burned by the Normans in  the 11th, rebuilt on a smaller scale in the 12th and restored in 1914.
During the 12th century it was probably used as a defence for the Basilica of St. John lateran, hence it’s a fort-like structure. The church is dedicated to the four Roman soldiers, Severus, Severian, Carpophoros and Victorine, who had refused to worship the statue of Aesculapius, and to the five sculptures who had declined to carve it. Traces of the primitive church can been seen in the apse.

​The bell tower probably dates from the 9th century. Worth of visit are the Oratorio di san Silvestro, the chapel in the courtyard to be entered just by ringing the nuns, with its charming 13th  century frescoes; and the medieval cloister
