But coming across random basilicas didn't stop there. We next came across Basilica di Santa Pudenziana, a church dedicated to a saint who may not exist. Legend has it that Pudentiana baptized pagans in her father's house, but there is not actually evidence she was a real person. This church is even older than Santa Maria Maggiore!! This is considered to be the oldest place of Christian worship in Rome, and it is now especially favored by Filipinos.
