The church was built in the 8th century, during the Byzantine Papacy, over the remains of the Templum Herculis Pompeiani in the Forum Boarium and of the Statio annonae, one of the food distribution centres of ancient Rome

Santa Maria in Cosmedin is a minor basilica built during the Middle Ages, renowned for "La Bocca della Verità" (Mouth of Truth), located on the north side of the church. Legend has it that if a person places his or her hand in the mouth of the statue and lies, the mouth will close and cut their hand off.
