Basilica di San Crisogono (English: Basilica of Saint Chrysogonos) is a titular church and minor basilica located in Trastevere, Rome. Established in the 4th century under Pope Sylvester I, it is one of the oldest parish churches in the city and has served as a cardinal titular church since early Christianity. The present basilica, reconstructed under Cardinal Scipione Borghese in the early 17th century, is notable for its Baroque interior, and the extensive remains of the early Christian church preserved beneath the crypt. Today, San Crisogono remains an active parish and is also part of the traditional stational liturgy observed during Lent.
