This spectacular church is well worth visiting. The conservation efforts over the last 30 years have paid off. The exhibit is showcased beautifully. It traces the history of the site from Roman times, to one of the earliest Christian churches in Rome. The use of technology and projections which show the chapels decoration over the years is brilliant. And be sure to see the video. A Roman Forum ticket gets you in.

You can enter here with a ticket SUPER sites. The rooms were projected on the wall to showcase their previous decoration, creating an interesting experience.

This is a small church tucked away under the Palatine Hill. I never knew this was here on my previous visits. It was part of the super ticket with several other hidden sites. Very beautiful. They have a light show graphic for some of the rooms that helps bring the murals to light.

One has to either be lucky or intentional about finding this relatively-recently-opened-for-view ancient church within the Roman Forum. (Access requires no additional ticket beyond the one for the Forum). The background is that this 5th-century church was abandoned due to fears of earthquake not long after is was constructed, and then lost to history until 1900. The spaces now offer reveal much of the worship space. As a bonus, the faded frescoes adorning the walls benefits from special lighting which periodically outlines and fills in colors for some images.
