Santa Maria in Tempulo, Medieval Catholic church in Caelian Hill, Rome, Italy.
The Santa Maria in Tempulo features stone walls, a campanile, and architectural elements reflecting its transformation from a religious building to a civil venue.
The church originated as a Greek oratory dedicated to Saint Agatha in the 6th century and later became a Benedictine monastery mentioned in records from 1155.
The religious complex housed the Tempulines, the first cloistered female monastic order established by Saint Dominic, until their relocation to San Sisto Vecchio in 1222.
The building now functions as a municipal venue for civil weddings, located on via Valle delle Camene, which follows part of the ancient Appian Way.
The structure contains remnants of its original bell tower and was transformed into a nymphaeum during the 17th century as part of the Villa Celimontana estate.
