SANTA SABINA CHURCH IN ROME

Santa Sabina was restored to almost its original appearance in 1936.

Built over an earlier tituius, it has a high nave with huge, elegant columns supporting an arcade.

The floor is original, as are the wooden doors carved with scenes from the New Testament, including one of the earliest renderings of the crucifixion. There is also a pleasant, simple cloister. If it is closed, ask the Sacristanto let you in.
