"Sette Chiese" (= "Seven Churches") or "Santa Gerusalemme" (= "Holy Jerusalem") encompasses a complex of interconnected religious edifices, erected between the 5th and the 13th century. According to tradition Saint Petronius, a bishop during the 5th century, built the first basilica. He actually wished a building that recalled the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. "Sette Chiese" is a very complex structure, so this model gives an overview.
