La Basilica di San Clemente in Laterano è situata circa 300 metri oltre il Colosseo, sulla strada che dalla valle tra il colle Oppio e il Celio porta a San Giovanni in Laterano. È una delle più interessanti e antiche basiliche di Roma, eretta prima del 385 e dedicata a San Clemente, il terzo papa dopo San Pietro.

Although much of the interior decoration was changed in the #baroque period, the 8 red #porphory #columns are part of the #ancient structure and are #recycled from an even earlier #roman building
