Santa Aurea, Renaissance basilica in Ostia Antica, Italy
The basilica features a single nave with a trussed ceiling, illuminated by a rose window and paired windows from the 15th century.
Cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville ordered the construction in 1483, which architect Baccio Pontelli completed under the supervision of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere.
The chapel of Saint Monica contains a painting by Pietro da Cortona depicting the Ecstasy of Saint Monica and houses historical grave artifacts.
The basilica functions as the cathedral of the suburbicarian diocese of Ostia and maintains regular services for the local parish community.
The church preserves the relics of Saint Asterius of Ostia within its walls and displays three significant 17th-century altarpieces.
