Santi Silvestro e Martino ai Monti Church, Rome

The official name of the church is Chiesa dei Santi Silvestro e Martino ai Monti - Titolo Equizio. Tituli churches were churches that did not only celebrate mass, but also educated and aided the poor. Equitius was the name of the person who had donated the area where it is located.

The church of San Martino ai Monti was constructed in the 4th century AD (by Pope Sylvester I), although the site had been used since the 2nd century for Christian prayer meetings.

Over the course of the centuries it was reconstructed and/or restored many times, a.o. in the year 772 and in 845.

The church was built on top of an ancient Roman building that can still be visited from the crypt.

The baroque facade was designed by Pietro da Cortona.

The two medieval towers flanking San Martino ai Monti are called the Torri dei Capocci.

The interior consists of 3 naves that are separated by 24 marble columns with Corinthian capitols.
