The Basilica of San Bartolomeo all'Isola was built around the year 1000 to house the relics of the apostle Saint Bartholomew. The Basilica of St. Bartholomew is today the place of commemoration of the "new martyrs" of the twentieth century: to mention just a few examples, the basilica celebrates Bishop Óscar Arnulfo Romero and Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo, killed by drug traffickers, the evangelical pastor Paul Schneider and farmer Franz Jägerstätter, opponents of Nazism.
