Santa Bibiana Church, 5th-century church in Esquilino district, Rome, Italy
The three-nave interior features ancient granite and marble columns, crowned with Corinthian capitals and decorated with religious frescoes.
Pope Simplicius ordered the construction of the church in 467, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini completed its renovation between 1624 and 1625.
The walls display Pietro da Cortona's frescoes depicting the life and martyrdom of Saint Bibiana alongside Agostino Ciampelli's musical angel paintings.
The church stands near Termini Station, with regular visiting hours during mornings and late afternoons except during religious services.
A red marble column inside marks the spot where Saint Bibiana received martyrdom, protected by a bronze grating designed by Bernini.
