San Teodoro, Circular church at Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy

San Teodoro stands at the northwest base of the Palatine Hill, featuring a round structure with an ancient mosaic in its apse.

The church dates back to the 6th century and was rebuilt by architect Carlo Fontana between 1703 and 1705 under Pope Clement XI's direction.

The apse mosaic depicts Christ wearing a black robe with gold details, accompanied by Saints Peter, Paul, Theodore, and Cleonicus.

Since 2004, the building serves the Eastern Orthodox community of Rome following an agreement between Pope John Paul II and the Orthodox Church.

Archaeological evidence suggests the church was constructed over former granaries belonging to Agrippa or a temple dedicated to Juno Sospita.
