What people say
Pedro Pereira

"The Basilica di San Crisogono is a minor basilica church located in the Trastevere rione of Rome, Italy. It is dedicated to the martyr Saint Chrysogonus. The church is one of the first parish churches of Rome, likely built in the 4th century under Pope Sylvester I.
The basilica has a rich history and boasts a blend of architectural styles. The facade is Baroque in style, featuring a large portico with four columns and a tympanum. The 12th-century Romanesque bell tower adds a touch of medieval charm. Inside, the church is divided into three naves by two orders of granite columns. The Cosmatesque style floor and the apse mosaic attributed to the school of Pietro Cavallini are particularly noteworthy. The highlight of the interior is the high altar, designed by the famous Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini."
