The tiny cloister of the church of Santi Quattro Coronati, which dates back to the early 13th century, is one of the most secluded spots in Rome.
The fountain in the centre of the cloister was designed by Antonio Muñoz (1884-1960) in 1913, using a medieval marble basin. The ancient church of Santi Quattro Coronati which dates back to the 4th or 5th century, is dedicated to the four crowned saints. However, there is some confusion as to the exact identity of this quartet of martyrs. Comments are closed.
