San Callisto is a Roman Catholic titular church in Rome, Italy, built over the site of Pope Callixtus I's martyrdom.

The seventeenth-century facade carried the coat of arms of Paul V. The altarpiece, by, Avanzino Nucci, depicts the "Glora di San Callisto". The church has a single aisle with a chapel on either side. Within the chapel to the right, two angels attributed to Gian Lorenzo Bernini support a painting by Pier Leone Ghezzi. The chapel on the left contains the well where Callistus I, later venerated as a saint, was martyred.

Colorful Trastevere is a funky, bohemian area that clings to its centuries-old, working-class roots. It's known for traditional and innovative trattorias, craft beer pubs and artisan shops, as well as simple B&Bs and budget hotels. From the pre-dinner passeggiata (promenade) until late, a young crowd buzzes around Piazza di San Calisto and Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the site of a gilded, mosaic-filled church.
