Risalivano alla metà del XII secolo, al tempo di papa Eugenio III, il pavimento cosmatesco, rifatto nei restauri del Fuga, e un portico addossato alla facciata (rimaneggiato sotto Papa Gregorio XIII e poi distrutto nel Settecento per far posto alla nuova fronte barocca del Fuga). La basilica fu oggetto di importanti interventi in vista del primo giubileo dell'anno 1300; in particolare durante il pontificato di Niccolò IV venne aggiunto il transetto e fu creata una nuova abside che venne decorata con ricchi mosaici realizzati da Jacopo Torriti (Incoronazione di Maria e Storie di Maria), datati 1295. Si tratta della prima Incoronazione della Vergine absidale. Seduta sullo stesso fastoso Trono e accanto al Redentore, Maria è abbigliata con abiti regali, tipici del modulo bizantino dell'epoca e anche specifici del culto mariano a Roma. Questo mosaico, sintesi fra modi orientaleggianti e spirito artistico romano, conclude una millenaria stagione di arte cristiano-bizantino-romana.
