[Rome, Italy] Basilica of Sant'Agnese Fuori le Mura

#FreeHotelStay Just outside the Basilica of Santa Costanza is the Basilica of Sant'Agnese Fuori le Mura. It means the small church of St. Agnes outside the city walls. The simple façade is fitting for St. Agnes, who was martyred at about the age of 13 while maintaining her virginity. The very simple and small church, newly rebuilt in the 7th century, has a nice warm feeling. St. Agnes, who is considered a symbol of virginity, is popular with women, and many people hold their weddings here. The highlight of this church is the mosaic of St. Agnes sparkling in the apse. I fell in love with her cuteness at once. The saint, who has cut ties with ancient times and is completely in the brilliance and color of the Middle Ages, is extremely beautiful. It's interesting to see the clear difference between the mosaics in the Santa Costanza Basilica, which is on the same premises and the ancient-smelling mosaics.
