San Silvestro in Capite is a basilica church in Rome, in Piazza San Silvestro. A second Roman church dedicated to Saint Sylvester is San Silvestro al Quirinale. The Latin words "in capite" refer to a fragment of the head of St. John the Baptist, putatively kept as a relic, in a chapel to the left of the entrance.
