The church is located on our favorite neighborhood meeting area, park, gelato destination, shopping area. Routinely the doors were shut and locked, but finally on our last Sunday, it was open. So I got to go in, look around and take some photos.
The court yard and garden of the Church/ Hospital. The place has been a convent as well.
Several kitty cats were comfortable in the space. Surprisingly, we did not see as many cats in Rome as I would have expected.
The Church is old, 14th Century; dedicated to early Christian twins, Cosimo and Damian, who were physicians and eventually were martyred in the Christian cause. A good reason for its connection to healing even today.
Early Roman grave marker. Paulinea, a great or noble Lady....?
