A beautiful Church where we can see the Tomb of St. Sicily, patron saint of music. Under the church there is an antique house where the saint lived.

A nice church, the entry is very well down with the little garden, inside byzantine frescoes. There is a crypt but not open, no indication how to find a gard to open it. The story of St Cecilia is from early days of Christianity, she was buried in the catacombs of St callisto where you see a copy of the marble statue , the original is in this Church

This is one of those places in Rome that layers history in a literal way. The 5th-century church is dedicated to a 3rd-century martyr and saint. It sits atop a Roman house which may have belonged to Cecilia. One of the focuses of attention in the church is the white sculpture said to portray the uncorrupted body of the saint in the 9th century. At the end of the southern aisle near the entry, a small admission fee grants access to the lower level which includes Roman artifacts and a neo-Gothic chapel dedicated to Cecilia.
