The exact date of foundation of the church of St Stephen in Artena is not known.
The style of the bell tower, with its elegant windows, suggests that it goes back to the thirteenth century.
It is situated in the middle of the town and after a fire, which occurred in 1557, and its subsequent abandonment.
It was restored by Camilla Orsini Borghese, wife of Marcantonio Borghese.
