In the right corner you can take a staircase to a church from the 4th century that was decorated with frescoes from different time periods with images of Christ, Pope Clement. You can go even lower to the lower church to the sanctuary of a Persian god Mithras (2nd century).
At the back there is a possibility to enter a courtyard with a central fountain.
Free admission, only the sacristy is charged, followed by access to the subchurches.

Roman history on several levels:
Roman building remains from the 1st to 3rd centuries (with a mithraeum of approx. 240),
Expansion of the ancient rooms as an early Christian basilica called Titulus Clementis around 384 (“lower church”)
medieval basilica of San Clemente above the level of the early Christian church from 1108 ("upper church").
