Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme

The Church of Saints Fabiano and Venanzio was built in 1936 by the architect Clemente Busiri Vici. The interior consists of a nave and two aisles; the presbytery is crowned by a mosaic covering the entire wall, representing Christ blessing with Saints Fabian and Venantius. In the church premises, there are works from the former church of Saints Venantius and Ansovino, demolished in 1928 for the construction of the Piazza di San Marco.

The church of Santa Bibiana is said to have been built in 363 by a certain Olympina (or Olympia) on the house where Bibiana, her mother Daphrosy and her sister Demetria were martyred during the alleged persecution of Emperor Julian (361-363). The building was restored by Pope Honorius III in 1224: on this occasion, the Pope had a women's monastery built next to the church, which was occupied until the middle of the 15th century and then destroyed by Urban VIII, who ordered the complete reconstruction of the church at the beginning of the 17th century.

The Basilica of St. John Lateran or Cathedral of Rome is the most important of the four great papal basilicas and the oldest and most important basilica in the West. The basilica was founded in the 4th century by the Roman Laterani family. The basilica has been damaged many times by sackings (410, 455), earthquakes (896, 1349), fires (1306, 1361), but always restored. Although some parts of the building bear witness to the old basilica, such as the magnificent Romanesque cloister and the ceiling, most of the present building is the result of a major remodelling in the 17th century. The nave and the interior design are the work of the architect Francesco Borromini. The monumental exterior façade was built in travertine in 1734 by the architect Alessandro Galilei. He was clearly inspired by the façade of St. Peter's in Rome.
