Santi Marcellino e Pietro ad Duas Lauros, Renaissance Revival church in Prenestino-Labicano, Rome, Italy.
Santi Marcellino e Pietro ad Duas Lauros is a church building with Renaissance Revival architecture in the Prenestino-Labicano neighborhood. It features a three-arched portico with Corinthian columns and a central nave divided by arcades supported by travertine limestone columns.
Around 320, Emperor Constantine I commissioned a funerary chapel over existing catacombs near the necropolis of the Imperial Horse Guards. The current neo-Romanesque structure, built in 1922, replaced an earlier Baroque building that occupied the same site.
The church preserves an altarpiece showing the Martyrdom of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, honoring early Christian figures venerated at this site over many centuries.
The building stands closer to Via Casilina and is located in an area rich with ancient remains and early Christian sites. A visit allows you to experience both the Renaissance Revival architecture above and the historical layers beneath.
The name 'Ad Duas Lauros' comes from two laurel trees that once marked this location along the ancient Via Labicana. Constantine's mother Helena owned property nearby, linking this site to the highest imperial circles of the early Christian period.
