San Martino ai Monti, Minor basilica in Monti district, Rome, Italy

The basilica features three naves separated by 24 ancient columns with composite capitals supporting a trabeation decorated with eight stucco sculptures.

Founded in the 4th century by Pope Sylvester I on land donated by the Equizi family, the church underwent major reconstructions in 772 and 845.

The interior displays significant artworks, including a 6th-century mosaic of Madonna with Saint Sylvester and frescoes by Gaspare Dughet depicting Saint Elijah.

The basilica contains an organ built by Zenoni within an 18th-century case, featuring two keyboards and a pedalboard for musical performances.

Under the main altar rest the relics of Saints Artemius, Paulina, and Sisinnius, transferred from the Catacombs of Priscilla.
