The vast crypt under the main altar, built by Luigi Carimini in 1869-71 bringing together, in addition to the remains of the titular apostles Philip and James, the relics of various other martyrs that came to light during these excavations, and the tombs of two of Riario who once had the right to burial at the presbytery. The tempera decorations of the ambulatory are inspired by those of the catacombs of San Callisto and Domitilla - Basilica dei Santi XII Apostoli - Rome Italy
