History Awaits at Santa Pudenziana

Santa Pudenziana is among the oldest parish churches in Rome, originating with a chapel dating back to 140 AD before being established as a church after early fourth-century religious tolerance.

This basilica, dedicated to Saint Pudentiana, has a rich history, noted for its 4th-century apse mosaic — the oldest in Rome. The mosaic showcases enthroned Christ alongside two female figures, crowning Saints Peter and Paul, while the apostles appear in attire resembling Roman senators. Historical alterations in the 16th century led to the loss of some original details.
