San Tommaso in Formis, Catholic church on Caelian Hill, Rome, Italy.
San Tommaso in Formis displays a Romanesque entrance with a thirteenth-century mosaic created by Lorenzo Cosmati, depicting Christ between two freed slaves.
Pope Innocent III granted ownership of the church to the Trinitarian Order in 1209, marking the beginning of its role in supporting freed Christian slaves.
The church incorporates elements of the ancient Claudian Aqueduct, demonstrating the integration of Roman infrastructure into religious architecture.
The church entrance is located at Via di San Paolo della Croce 10, next to the Arch of Dolabella, near Villa Celimontana.
Saint John of Matha, founder of the Trinitarian Order, lived in a small cell within the Arch of Dolabella from 1209 until his death in 1213.
