Dome of the church of Santa Pudenziana in Rome, Italy. Restorations by Francesco da Volterra dating 1588 transformed the three naves into one and a dome was added, also designed by Francesco da Volterra. The basilica was built in the 4th-century and is dedicated to Saint Pudenziana. The church of Santa Pudenziana is recognized as the oldest place of Christian worship in Rome. It was built over a 2nd-century house, probably during the pontificate of Pius I in 140–155 AD. This church was the residence of the Pope until, in 313, Emperor Constantine I offered the Lateran Palace in its stead.
