Chiesa di San Giorgio in Velabro

The church of San Giovanni Decollato was built between 1504 and 1588 on the site of an earlier church, Santa Maria de fovea. It was granted in 1488 to the Arciconfraternita di San Giovanni decollato, of Florentine origin, who had it rebuilt in 1504. The purpose of the Arciconfraternita was to assist those condemned to death, to invite them to repent, to comfort them until the end and to bury their bodies.1600 Clement VIII had the cloister built, in which the mass graves of the condemned buried here can still be seen. Further restorations were carried out in 1727 and 1888.

The church of Sant'Eligio dei Ferrari was built in 1513 by the University of Ferrari on the site of the former church of San Giacomo d'Altopascio and San Martino di Monte Tito, both of which were granted to the University of Ferrari in 1453. The interior of the church, with a single nave and three altars on each side, is richly decorated with wood and golden stucco (1604).

The Church of St Theodore on the Palatine is an Orthodox place of worship built in the 6th century. The mosaic in the apse dates from the 6th century. Rebuilt under Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455), it was renovated two centuries later, in 1643, by Cardinal Francesco Barberini, and in 1703-05 under Pope Clement XI (1700-1721). It was then entrusted to the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Pope John Paul II granted the use of the church to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and to the Greek Orthodox community in Rome.
