Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Basilica dei Santi Martiri

This chapel seen here is part of the large "Basilica dei Santi Martiri" erected between 1480 and 1542. The chapel is much older actually, obviously the basilica was built around it. Three christian missionaries from Cappadocian named Sisinnio, Martirio and Alessandro got martyred here in May 397. Their ashes are kept and venerated in the chapel by pilgrims. The murals seen here are dated to the 12th century. Here are the three martyrs on their way into heaven.
