San Callisto is a church dedicated to Pope St Callixtus.
The church was built in the 8th century at the supposed site of his maryrdom. The well in which St Callixtus is supposed to have been drowned in 222 is preserved in the church. The saint is buried beneath the altar of nearby Santa Maria in Trastevere.
The church has been closed for some time.
