The basics

One of the most important attractions on Rome’s historic Caelian Hill, the ancient Basilica of Saints John and Paul on the Caelian Hill, known colloquially as Santi Giovanni e Paolo, was extensively restored in the 12th century, and today dazzles with lavish interiors featuring striking frescos and ornate chandeliers. The true headliner, though, are the excavated ruins of the ancient Claudianum and the Case Romane beneath the church, which offer an interesting glimpse into Roman life.

When to get there

Despite it being one of the most storied and archaeologically significant churches in Rome, Santi Giovanni e Paolo is much quieter than other more famous places of worship and can be a welcome respite from the crowds at the nearby Colosseum and Forum. The church closes briefly at midday and is not open to visitors during Mass.
