Lonely Planet review for Basilica di SS Cosma e Damiano

Backing onto the Roman Forum, this 6th-century basilica incorporates parts of the Foro di Vespasiano and Tempio di Romolo, visible through the glass wall at the end of the nave. The real reason to visit, though, are the vibrant 6th-century apse mosaics, depicting Christ’s second coming. Also worth a look is the huge 18th-century Neapolitan presepio, in a room off the tranquil 17th- century cloisters.
