The Oratory of the Most Holy Cross, Rome/Oratorio del SS.mo Crocifisso.
on February 27, 2015. Oratorio del SS.mo Crocifisso [Chiesa (Oratorio) of Santissimo Crocifisso)] was built by G.Della Porta in 1568 on the ancient ruins adapted for the hay-loft and on a medieval religious construction, for the Confraternity of Crucifix.
