San Basilio al Foro di Augusto, Medieval Catholic church near Forum of Augustus, Rome, Italy.
The church building stood on the podium of the Temple of Mars Ultor, incorporating elements of ancient Roman architecture into its structure.
First documented in 955 through a papal bull by Pope Agapitus II, the church originally bore the name San Basilio in Scala Mortuorum.
The interior contained frescoes by Marco Tullio Montagna and an altarpiece of the Annunciation copied by Gaetano Lapis from Guido Reni.
The entrance portal remains visible on Via Tor de' Conti, marking the location where the church stood until its demolition in 1924.
Dominican sisters received the church in the 16th century and renamed it Santissima Annunziata, maintaining it until archaeological excavations began.
