Santo Stefano Rotondo (via di Santo Stefano Rotondo)
This was built at the end of the fifth century on a circular plan, an exact copy of the church of the Holy Sepulcre at Jerusalem. The entrance is through a doorway with five arches, added in the twelfth century by Innocent II.
The interior is made up of a central space surrounded by two concentric naves separated by majestic columns. The dome to the right is decorated with a seventh-century mosaic that presents Christ between two saints with a cross in the background.
Particularly interesting are the 34 frescoes illustrating the tortures undergone by Christian martyrs during their persecutions.
