The Basilica dei Santi Bonifacio e Alessio is a cool church in Rome, Italy. It's located on the Aventine Hill and has been around since the 4th century. The basilica is dedicated to Saint Boniface of Tarsus and Saint Alexius, and it's pretty fancy with its Baroque and Romanesque architecture. Inside, you can find some awesome stuff like a medieval-style quadriportico and a Romanesque campanile. There's even a crypt with frescoes from the 12th century. The basilica is also a titular church for Cardinal-priests, which means it's got some important history.
