Santi Simone e Giuda, Former Catholic church in central Rome, Italy
The deconsecrated church stands on Monte Giordano, an artificial hill built from Roman-era marble quarry rubble near the Tiber River.
Pope Paschal II consecrated the structure in 1118 as Santa Maria de Monticellis, followed by a second consecration by Pope Innocent II in 1143.
The building transformed from a religious institution to a cinema named Alcazar in 1905, then became a restaurant and theater until 2006.
Visitors can observe the exterior architecture and historic door frame from the 18th century while climbing the stairs from Via di San Simone.
The church's tombstones were moved to San Silvestro in Capite's portico after its deconsecration and auction sale by Prince Filippo Orsini in 1902.
