San Sisto, Romanesque church in Viterbo, Italy
The church structure features two distinct bell towers, with ten columns separating three naves, and Corinthian and Ionic capitals decorated with leaf patterns.
San Sisto stands on the site of an earlier church dedicated to San Marco in the Vico Quinzano area, with the first documented mention dating to 1037.
The church marks the starting point of the Macchina di Santa Rosa procession on September 3rd, where carriers receive a blessing before the event.
The church entrance is located in Piazza San Sisto, with staircases leading to different levels due to the original construction adapting to the terrain.
Part of the city wall was removed to accommodate the church's apse, which now extends beyond the original defensive perimeter of medieval Viterbo.
