Santi Apostoli, Minor basilica in Trevi district, Rome, Italy

The basilica features a two-story entrance portico with nine arches and contains significant artworks, including frescoes by Baciccio and monuments by Antonio Canova.

Founded in the sixth century by Pope Pelagius I, the church underwent major reconstruction in 1702 under Pope Clement XI with architects Carlo and Francesco Fontana.

The crypt beneath the main altar houses the relics of apostles Philip and James the Lesser, along with other martyrs in a catacomb-inspired setting.

The basilica opens daily from 6:30 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, offering regular religious services and maintaining an active musical program.

This basilica stands as the only one in Rome not built upon existing Roman structures, though it incorporated materials from Constantine's nearby thermal baths.
