Basilica di Sant'Anastasia al Palatino

The church features twin bell towers on its facade and contains three naves under a coffered ceiling with religious paintings.

The basilica, constructed around 325 CE during Constantine's era, stands upon earlier Roman structures including shops and private residences.

The basilica holds precious relics in a 17th-century reliquary, including fragments of Saint Joseph's cloak and part of the Virgin Mary's veil.

The church serves as a national place of worship for both Peruvian and Syro-Malabar Indian communities in Rome.

Until the 1700s, this basilica marked the starting point of papal processions during Ash Wednesday, leading to Santa Sabina basilica.
