Basilica of San Clemente

It is one of the most interesting and ancient basilicas in Rome, built before 385 and dedicated to San Clemente, the third pope after St. Peter. It consists of two superimposed churches, built on Roman buildings of the Republican age and on the remains of a temple of the god Mithras.

Martin, our guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a ton about mosaics. The churches were beautiful, especially St. Mary Maggiore.
