Basilica San Clemente

The highlight of the Basilica San Clemente isn't the present day church itself, but what it was built on top of. A first century pagan temple is in the basement of the church, as is part of a 4th century church. It is fascinating to see the evolution of this location and what it was like 2,000 years ago.

The spaces down in the basement can be a bit tight, so be aware of this on crowded days.
