The first church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, perhaps the most ancient church in Rome. Foundation traditionally dated to reign of Pope San Callisto I, between 217-222. Built probably more likely during reign of Pope San Giulio I, between 337-352. Reconstructions under Innocenzo II (1130-1143) did not alter church much. Worst restoration was done in 19th century.
