Basilica of Santo Stefano

The Basilica of Santo Stefano, known locally as the Sette Chiese (Seven Churches), is a complex of linked churches on Piazza Santo Stefano. Tradition says Bishop Petronius founded it in the 5th century in imitation of Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre; it includes the octagonal Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the 13th-century Courtyard of Pilate.
