Santi Bonifacio e Alessio, Minor basilica in Ripa, Rome, Italy

The basilica features a thirteenth-century bell tower with double windows, three naves divided by pillars, and a medieval four-sided entrance portico.

Originally dedicated to Saint Boniface in the fourth century, the church underwent reconstruction in 1216 under Pope Honorius III and major renovations in 1750.

The interior contains a wooden staircase associated with Saint Alessio, displayed in a glass case supported by angels near the entrance.

Visitors can access the Romanesque crypt beneath the church, which contains relics of Thomas Becket and features twelfth-century frescoes of religious symbols.

The cloister incorporates granite columns from ancient Roman buildings and provides views toward Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
