Description
General view of front elevation showing central path and gardens; Sant'Agnese fuori le mura ("Saint Agnes Outside the Walls") is a basilica church in Rome, in which Saint Agnes's bones are reputed to rest. The church lies on the Via Nomentana at some distance outside the Aurelian Walls encircling the ancient city. The religious complex includes this basilica and the mausoleum of Santa Costanza. The current church (properly a basilica), as rebuilt by Pope Honorius I in the mid 7th century, stands over a 4th century catacomb, one of the most important cemeterial complexes in Rome, with over 10 kilometres (6 miles) of corridors, only a couple of which are accessible.
