Basilica di Sant’Antioco Martire

Hidden behind the modest baroque facade is a sublimely simple 5th-century church. To the right of the altar stands a wooden effigy of St Antiochus, a martyr of North African origin who was enslaved by the Romans and later hid out in the basilica's creepy Basilica di Sant’Antioco Martire Catacombs.
