Via Montanara 8 - Sconsacrata
1665 Carlo Fontana (1634/1714)
It was built over a former church dating back to the eleventh century
Until 1929, when it was dismantled piece by piece, the church stood under the stairs of S. Maria in Aracoeli (St. Mary the Altar of Heaven), in the area of the pre-existing medieval church of San Biagio in Mercatello
It was rebuilt on the current site only in the years 1938/40
In 1963, repairs and water drainage were carried out funded, among others, by John F. Kennedy, as the inscription on the left mentions
Since 1990 it belongs to the City of Rome which uses it for temporary exhibitions, concerts and events
