San Valentino, Baroque basilica in Terni, Italy.

The San Valentino basilica features a single nave structure with decorative stucco statues adorning its principal facade and classical Baroque architectural elements.

Construction of the basilica began in 1606 following Pope Paul V's initiative to locate Saint Valentine's remains, with the saint's relics returning to the church in 1618.

The basilica stands as the central point for ceremonies dedicated to Saint Valentine, the first bishop of Terni who lived during the third century.

The basilica opens Monday through Saturday from 6:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with modified hours on Sundays starting at 7:00 AM.

The church contains an altar specifically constructed to house the body of Saint Valentine, making it a destination for visitors interested in the origins of Valentine's Day.
