Basilica of San Valentino

Housing the relics of Saint Valentine, the patron saint of Terni, this historic basilica attracts visitors and lovers from all over the world.

The Basilica of San Valentino was built just outside the ancient city walls of Terni over an early Christian necropolis. The final resting place of Saint Valentine, the city's first bishop and the global patron saint of love, lies directly beneath the high altar. While the present structure dates back to the 17th-century Baroque era, its historical foundations go back to antiquity.
