If nothing else, his pontificate saw the rebuilding of two notable
churches in Rome, Santa Prassede and Santa Cecilia in Trastevere. Very
brief, illustrated, Italian-language accounts of both are here:

An English-language page on Santa Prassede is here:

This page has eight expandable views of mosaics from Santa Prassede:

The expandable view on this page of Arnolfo di Cambio's "gothic"
ciborium/tabernacle in this church allows a look at the much earlier
