About the site

The Basilica of Santa Restituta is a Christian church in Naples, Italy. It is considered the oldest Christian basilica in the city. Tradition assigns its foundation to Constantine I, and the Liber Pontificalis identifies him as patron in a passage from the life of Pope Sylvester I. The Christian church may have occupied a location that was formerly home to a temple of Apollo.
