San Cosimato, Medieval church building in Trastevere, Rome, Italy

The San Cosimato church features a simple brick facade facing a public square, with a Romanesque bell tower and 12th-century portico.

The structure began as a Benedictine monastery in the 10th century, dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian, before Pope Sixtus IV ordered its reconstruction in 1475.

The presbytery contains a fresco depicting the Madonna and Child between Saints Francis and Claire, created by artist Antonio del Massaro.

The church stands near the Nuovo Regina Margherita hospital, which occupies the former convent space transformed after the year 1870.

The designation 'in mica aurea' refers to the yellow fluvial sand discovered in the surrounding terrain of the church grounds.
