About this person
Sixtus III became bishop of Rome on 31 July 432, stepping into the seat at a moment when the city's glory was fading but its churches were rising. His papacy is remembered less for theology than for stone and mortar: he commissioned a wave of construction that reshaped Christian Rome. For eight years he oversaw the building projects that would define the landscape of the faith. He died on 18 August 440. The Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church mark his feast day on 28 March.
