San
Clemente, Rome is very
old dedicated to Pope
Clement Saint-I. The
San Clemente, Rome was
built around the 4th
century. Below this
old church is a Roman
house, where Christians
used to worship before
this church was built
in 4th century. In 1100
AD this San Clemente,
Rome was built above
the old. It was one
of the first parish
churches of Rome that
belongs to Titus Flavius
Clemens consul and the
contemporary pope of
St. Clement.
The San Clemente, Rome
was built after the
Edict of Milan was adopted
by 313 Christians to
follow their religion
openly. This fact is
clear from this document
written when a church
was built dedicated
to St Clement.
Pope John II was the
cardinal priest of San
Clemente and was patron
of the church. In 1084,
Normans under Robert
Guiscard ruthlessly
damaged the church of
San Clemente. But beneath
the holder priest and
Cardinal Anastase a
new church was built.
Pope Clement XI restored
the church with the
architect Carlo Fontana.
Fr Joseph Mulooly with
Giovanni Battista de
Rossi first searched
the lower church. Fr
Louis Nolan OP also
carried out searches
of 1912-1914. Normally,
the main doors remain
closed. To see the facade
of San Clemente, Rome,
you must enter through
the atrium. At the atrium
Saint-Servulus used
to beg for alms to the
6th century. Pope Gregory
the Great met here.
Saint-Servulus is buried
on the left of the Holy
Sacrament change.
