The sarcophagus of Saint Christina is located in a catacomb in the Basilica di Santa Cristina. The basilica actually consists of three adjoining churches from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The catacomb existed at the time of the Romans. The bloodstains on the altar stone are said to bear witness to a so-called 12th-century blood miracle when blood flowed from a host that was broken by a doubting priest. Every year on the 24th of July, the feast of Saint Christina in Bolsena is celebrated with mystery plays.

Be sure to check out the frescoes in the right side chapel - presumably Gothic.
