BASILICA DI SANTA CROCE IN GERUSALEMME
Basilica among the seven pilgrimage basilicas that preserve a fragment of the cross of Christ.
It is one of the seven pilgrimage basilicas in Rome because it contains a fragment of Christ's cross, as well as other relics brought back by Constantine's mother during her pilgrimage to Jerusalem: thorns from the crown, a nail from the Passion and even a finger from Saint Thomas! This church is one of the oldest in Rome (you can see the original granite columns and the Constantine Baptistery), although it was heavily altered in the 12th and 18th centuries.
