@livevirtualguide: When the church of San Nicola in Carcere was built in the 1100s, it incorporated three Ancient Roman temples from the 3rd century BC! These temples were: Temple of Spes, Temple of Juno, Temple of Janus. The church was built on top of the basements of these temples, which you can see outside the church, as well as inside. If you walk underground you will see the ancient Roman street level between the temples, and the actual basements of the temples! Imagine the ancient Roman people walking right there! 🤯 When the church was built, this underground section became a cemetery. That is why you can find some human bones too.
