St. Clemente Basilica is one of the oldest Churches in Rome, as it dates back to the first centuries after the birth of Christ. The actual Church is built over 3 different levels, each of them belonging to a different period.
The lowest level was built during the 1st century when this same place was a private home where the first Christian celebrations took place, then, it developed so that it was considered officially a Basilica form 6th century until later on.
The second level instead, dates back to the 2nd century when San Clemente was a pagan school dedicated to God Mithra. The last and most recent level, dating back to the 4th century, had the main function of an Early Christian Basilica.
