	Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome
		On the south side of the Piazza Bocca della Verità, overlooking the Tempio di Fortuna Virile, the Arco di Giano and the church of San Giorgio in Velabro, is the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin (probably given this name by Byzantines after a square in their city).
		This is one of the finest examples of medieval church architecture in Rome.
		Begun in 772, during the reign of Pope Adrian I, and completed in its present form in about 1124 under Calixtus II, it is an architectural gem (suggesting an alternative derivation of the name Cosmedin from the Greek cosmos, which means "perfect order" or "ornament").
