Churches
San Clemente (via di San Giovanni in Laterano)
Constructed between 1110 and 1130 over an earlier Roman building, this church has belonged to the Domenican order since 1677. The upper church, with three naves, has a beautiful floor paved with marble inlay from the twelfth century. The middle nave has an eighteenth-century panelled ceiling with a central fresco. In the apse there is a magnificent mosaic from the twelfth century representing the Triumph of the Cross. From the sacristy one descends to the lower church, which conserves interesting frescoes from the sixth and twelfth centuries. |
