Churches
Santi Giovanni and Paolo (Clivo di Scauro, near via S. Gregorio)
A fourth-century basilica built on the site of the house belonging to Giovanni and Paolo. These were officials of Constantine, condemned to death in 362 by order of Giuliano the Apostata and buried under their house. The church was devastated by the Goths, damaged by the earthquake of 442, and sacked by Roberto il Guiscardo in 1084. It was rebuilt towards the mid-twelfth century. The interior was rebuilt in the eighteenth century. The facade, decorated with third-century columns, is the oldest part of the church. |
