Founded in the fourth century, it was the first Christian basilica built in the city and has undergone numerous renovations over the centuries, reflecting various architectural styles, particularly Baroque and Neoclassical. The basilica houses significant artworks, including sculptures and frescoes, and is home to the famous Scala Santa, a set of steps believed to be the same ones that Jesus ascended during his trial before Pontius Pilate.
