Saints Cosmas and Damian at the Roman Forum • Section 1 of 5

You are standing at a remarkable crossroads of history where the grandeur of Imperial Rome meets the early dawn of Christianity. The Basilica of Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian is not just a church; it is a complex tapestry of ancient structures woven together over nearly two thousand years. Located right on the edge of the Roman Forum along the ancient Sacred Way, this site originally housed a library from the Forum of Peace and a circular building known as the Temple of Romulus. In the year five hundred and twenty-seven, at the request of Pope Felix the Fourth, these pagan buildings were transformed into the first Christian place of worship within the monumental center of the old city. As you approach the entrance on Via in Miranda, you are stepping onto ground that has served as a sanctuary for both the empire and the faith for centuries.
