Santa Passera, Medieval church in Portuense, Rome, Italy
Santa Passera stands on the opposite bank of the Tiber River from Saint Paul Outside the Walls Basilica, incorporating elements of a Roman tomb.
The church structure dates back to the ninth century and previously served a community of miners who extracted tuff from the nearby hills.
