Santa Susanna, Baroque church near Diocletian Baths, Rome, Italy
The single-nave church features a symmetrical facade with paired columns, decorative niches, and sculptural elements designed by Carlo Maderno in 1603.
The site holds ancient Roman ruins from a third-century house where Saint Susanna faced persecution under Emperor Diocletian for refusing marriage.
The church walls display extensive frescoes by Baldassare Croce depicting scenes from Saint Susanna's life, painted in the late 16th century.
Santa Susanna opens Monday through Saturday from 9:00 to 12:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 12:00, located at Via 20 Settembre 17.
The church serves as the national parish for American Catholics in Rome, with regular services conducted in English since 1922.
