San Callisto, Baroque church in Trastevere, Rome, Italy
San Callisto Church features a single aisle layout with two side chapels, decorated with paintings and sculptures by notable Italian artists.
The original structure dates from the 8th century under Pope Gregory III, with subsequent reconstructions in the 12th century and 1610 by Orazio Torriani.
The church maintains its status as a Roman Catholic titular church, currently held by Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk since its establishment in 1517.
The church serves as an overnight shelter for homeless individuals during winter months, offering access to hot meals at a nearby cafeteria.
The left chapel contains the preserved well where Pope Callixtus I was martyred in 222 AD, making it a significant historical testament.
