Santi Nereo e Achilleo, Early Christian basilica near Baths of Caracalla, Rome, Italy.
The church has three naves divided by octagonal pillars and features frescoes depicting martyr stories painted by Renaissance artist Pomarancio.
The basilica, constructed in the fourth century, underwent reconstruction in the eighth century under Pope Leo III after draining the surrounding marshland.
The walls display detailed frescoes of martyr stories, reflecting the Counter-Reformation period's emphasis on depicting religious persecution with stark realism.
The basilica opens on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with access from Circo Massimo metro station on Line B.
The facade inscription 'titulus Fasciolae' refers to the bandage Saint Peter lost at this location while escaping from Mamertine prison.
