Architecture: Early Christian & Byzantine

Santa Sabina was built by a Dalmatian Priest, Petrus of Illria. It was founded around 422 AD and was was completed 11 years later 432 AD. It was an expansion to a house-church owned by a Roman matron woman Sabina, who later became a saint. The structure is classical rectangular plan with columns. The simply design gives the Santa Sabina a very 'roomy' feel to the area as it is also simply decorated on the inside.
