Rating: 7,9/10 (1349 votes) ![]() The Church of Santa Constanta was previously a mausoleum built by Constantine the Great in the IV century for the repose of his daughter Constantine. Subsequently, Constanta was canonized, and therefore the mausoleum was turned into a temple dedicated to her name. In 1620, during the ongoing restoration work, a massive porphyry sarcophagus was moved to the Vatican Museum of Pius -Clement, to the papal collection of antiquities. Today the main treasures of the church are mosaics from the 4th century. ![]() ![]() ![]() We also recommend reading Church of Santa Maria del Popolo in Italy, Rome resort Topic: Church of Santa Constanta in Italy, Rome resort. |
