The basilica features a single nave with gilded coffered ceiling, side chapels adorned with artworks, and an entrance portico with six Ionic columns.
The church, consecrated in 440 by Pope Sixtus III, stands on a former Roman domus belonging to Lucina, who established a worship place there.
The Fonseca Chapel, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, displays remarkable marble busts and architectural elements from the 17th century Italian craftsmanship.
