Sant'Ambrogio della Massima, Ancient Catholic church in Sant'Angelo, Rome, Italy.
The church features a cross-shaped layout with chapels beside the nave, incorporating a domed basilica design and gold stucco decorations throughout the structure.
Saint Marcellina founded this religious site in 353 on the location of her family house, which later transformed into a monastery under the guidance of a woman named Maxima.
The church maintains relics of Saint Polycarp, the bishop of Smyrna, and serves as the General Curia of the Subiaco Cassinese Congregation.
The church building stands at Via di Sant'Ambrogio 5, near Piazza Mattei, though its facade remains partially hidden behind surrounding structures.
The structure represents the most ancient religious house in Rome, surviving through centuries despite facing abandonment during the Napoleonic Wars.
