The Basilica of St. Clement, the fourth pope after St. Peter. The Rossi sisters brought us here yesterday for their class, not only because of it's Christian signifiance, but also because the building itself is remarkable. It is composed of an upper church built in the 1100s, a lower church built in the 4th century AD, and beneath that an old Roman home (and Mithric temple next door) from the 1st century AD, the home is considered to be that of St. Clement himself, or at least the house church he used to worship in.
