Basilica of St. Mark the Evangelist, Minor basilica in Pigna, Rome, Italy
The Renaissance church features three naves divided by two rows of twelve pillars attached to ancient columns supporting round arches.
Pope Mark commissioned the construction of the basilica in 336 at a location called Pallacinas, where Saint Mark the Evangelist lived in 41 AD.
The basilica contains significant artworks, including frescoes by Melozzo da Forli depicting scenes of Saint Mark the Evangelist and Pope Mark.
The church opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 18:00, with Sunday masses at 12:00 and 19:00.
A marble bust known as Madama Lucrezia, representing the Egyptian goddess Isis, stands against the left side of the church building.
