What travelers say:
The church is very beautiful and magnificent. I didn't expect a large white church. There is also a bell tower beside it. It feels very sacred to go in and visit. It's similar to other cathedrals.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The devout Christian St. Cecilia was martyred in the 3rd century, and her remains were found in the catacombs in 1599. It is said that although the body has not decayed even after more than 1,000 years, it is said that the three-in-one God is represented by the finger just like when it was buried. The church was built on the site of her husband's ancient residence. The statue of St. Cecilia under the inner main altar is made by Maderno. A beautiful Byzantine mosaic at the back depicts her and her husband. Ancient dwellings and grain stores can be seen in the catacombs.

The church is built on the ruins of her husband's ancient residence. It has beautiful mosaics, not only ancient Roman ruins, but the tomb itself is amazing.
Built on the ruins of her husband's ancient residence, a very solemn place, often seen by car from here.

This temple is very beautiful, like its overall design style, very classical.
