Basilica of San Clemente

Basilica of San Clemente 堪稱羅馬歷史精華的縮影。現存的大教堂建於約 1100 年，直接坐落於一座 4 世紀的早期基督教大教堂之上；而這座早期教堂的基址，又曾是一座 1 世紀的羅馬宅邸——該處曾短暫用作聚會場所，隨後在 2 世紀改建為供奉波斯神祇密特拉的密特拉神殿（Mithraeum）。若再往深處探尋，甚至能見到在公元 64 年羅馬大火中損毀的共和時期地基。只需一次參觀，便能拾級而下，橫跨近兩千載未曾間斷的歲月痕跡。 單是地面上的大教堂已極具看頭：半圓形後殿內飾有精美絕倫的 12 世紀「生命之樹」鑲嵌畫，配以巧奪天工的 Cosmatesque 幾何大理石拼花地板，以及保存完好的中世紀合唱壇隔屏（schola cantorum）。然而，真正的精髓在於深入地下。4 世紀的遺址層保留了斑駁卻依然震撼的濕壁畫，信徒留下的塗鴉更是現存極早期由拉丁語轉向意大利語的文字佐證。至於更深一層的密特拉神殿，祭壇依然矗立，散發著神秘宗教專屬的壓迫感，耳邊甚至能清晰聽見地下暗流潺潺淌過。 這裡足以徹底顛覆你對羅馬的想像。層層疊疊的遺跡不僅是考古發現，更是一部實體展現後代直接建於前朝之上的建築史。這座建築自 1677 年起由愛爾蘭道明會修士悉心管理，保養極為得宜，策劃與陳列亦十分考究。
