Santi Bonifacio e Alessio
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.
