Saint Agnes Outside the Walls (Italian: Sant'Agnese fuori le mura) is a titular church and minor basilica in Rome located on a slope descending from the Via Nomentana. The church stands above the Catacombs of Saint Agnes, where the saint was originally buried and which remain accessible from the church. A larger basilica of the same name was built nearby in the 4th century; its ruins can still be seen near Santa Costanza. The present church was constructed by Pope Honorius I in the 7th century and largely preserves its original structure. Notably, the apse mosaic depicting Saint Agnes, Honorius, and another unidentified pope remains mostly intact. The current Cardinal Priest of Titulus S. Agnetis extra moenia is Camillo Ruini.
