Basilica of San Crisogono

Our Air B&B was across the street from this church although this is the view of the side of the church. It is very plain looking in appearance both in this view and from the front. It has a very long history. The simple cross above the door is the symbol of the Trinitarian Order. The Order was organized in 1198 to rescue Christian captives.

San Crisogono is a church in Rome dedicated to the martyr Saint Chrysogonus. It was one of the tituli, the first parish churches of Rome, and was probably built in the 4th century under Pope Sylvester I (314–335). The area beneath the sacristy was investigated in 1907and remains of the first church were found.
The church is served by Trinitarians. Among the previous Cardinal Priests was Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci (1853–1878), elected Pope Leo XIII. San Crisogono is the station church for Monday, the fifth week of Lent.
Chrysogonus was martyred in Aquileia probably during the persecution of Diocletian, was buried there, and publicly venerated by the faithful of that region. Very early the veneration of this martyr was transferred to Rome. In 731 Pope Gregory III restored the church and founded a monastery dedicated to Sancti Stephani, Laurentii et Chrysogoni. The original monks were of the Byzantine rite. The church was rebuilt in 1123t by John of Crema, and again in 1626 by Giovanni Battista Soria, funded by Scipione Borghese. A further renovation was carried out in the mid-1860s, shortly after the basilica was placed in the care of the Trinitarian Order. [Adapted from Wikipedia]
