San Pancrazio, Minor basilica in Gianicolense district, Rome, Italy
The basilica features a wooden coffered ceiling from the 17th century, with frescoes by Antonio Tempesta depicting Saint Pancras and other saints.
Pope Symmachus established the basilica between 498 and 514 CE at the burial site of Saint Pancras, a young martyr during Emperor Diocletian's reign.
The basilica functions as both a titular church and parish, with Cardinal Antonio Cañizares Llovera currently serving as the Cardinal Priest.
Visitors can access the ancient catacombs beneath the basilica, which contain early Christian burial chambers and rare Greek inscriptions from the third century.
The catacombs include the burial chamber of Botrys, decorated with third-century frescoes and containing one of the earliest known uses of 'christianós' in inscriptions.
