Santa Maria in Trastevere


< previous > < index > < next >

In the narrow space between this chapel and the next is the tomb of Pope Innocent II, who was buried here because he was from the Papareschi who were, at the time, one of the most powerful families in Trastevere. He was originally buried in San Giovanni in Laterano, but was moved here after that basilica was damaged by fire in 1308. In the lunette above is a scene from the life of the pope.
