Reviews
A place everyone should go in Rome! Because there you will see a huge church like an old roman temple, builded in favour of Saint Paul. The tomb of Saint Paul is in there and everyone should visit it.
Very unusual design of church - Hungarian, with circular main chamber. Artworks are old and also very unusual.
An incredible church. We walked past it late at night and were surprised to see it open. Excellent visited in the dark when you donate a € by machine you can select and area to illuminate and it looks stunning!
Absolutely amazing. It is a very impressive building, no matter what you believe. It opens at 7 am. This is the best time to go to avoid the lines. We arrived at 06:50 and the lines were minimal outside. Inside there was no line to go up to the dome at all. I would say if you are not comfortable in confined spaces don’t go up the the upper exterior dome look-out. The spiral stairs are something else and with a massive line of people that could get challenging for those who don’t like tight spaces. Super incredible to see though at going so early we avoided all of the crowds!
Beautiful church. The round plan makes it light and airy.
Interesting history around this church.
They have bathrooms too in the courtyard

the most beautiful place ive ever seen in my life! i almost cried from how beautiful the inside was. take your time to sit down and stare because every corner you look there's more detail to take in ❤️❤️❤️
One of my fiance and I's favorite places in Trastevere. If you get to the square early enough, you can watch the sun come up over the basilica... Beautiful!
Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful 🤩.
The Basilica was probably the first official place of Christian worship in Rome. The church is notable for its use of classical Roman architectural forms. The 22 columns in the nave were appropriated from ancient ruins. The straight beam, or architrave, resting over the columns evokes classical Roman construction.
There are a number of 12th and late 13th-century mosaics in the basilica. The "Coronation of the Virgin" sits atop an apse vault. Below are mosaics of the "Life of the Virgin" by Pietro Cavallini.
The ceiling painting is Assumption of the Virgin.
There are a lot more to see in this basilica. You just have to find them out by yourself.

Beautiful church, absolutely stunning. Wasn’t too busy but the queue for the mirror was quite long, it was getting out the door. Lots of influencer types taking a long time with their pictures! Other than that the church itself was really beautiful.
Another significant church in Rome. Entrance is free, though you can pay for a more extended tour, at certain times. This is a function church, so there are services on a regular schedule through the week. The interior is decorated with amazing art and architecture. Not as busy with tourists as other churches in the city, but still popular. The piazza outside the church gives way to any area that becomes busy at night. All in all, a must see if visiting this area in Rome.
Another magnificent cathedral in Rome. This is a papal basilica and one of the 7 pilgrim churches. It sits as part of a large square. This allows for easy walking around the building. Entrance to the church requires passing through a metal detector at a security point, but even with all the tourists present, this did not take too long. This interior of the building is ornate and beautiful. Most of the areas in the main part of the church are accessible, though tourists are asked to be respectful as it is in active use and confession and other services take place throughout the day. It is a popular tourist attraction and there were lots of tour groups present, however, this did not detract from the experience. A bit of patience might be needed to get a clear view of parts of the building, but these are certainly worth the wait.
Truly a hidden gem of Rome. For me the second most beautiful church I've ever seen, right after St. Peter's in Vatican. Huge, magnificent, with a small park, nicely decorated inside and outside. Also almost no tourist. The thing I like the most were the circles inside with pictures of all the Popes.
It is a very beautiful building at the heart of Rome. I was surprised to not see that much visitors because this almost felt like it is something that belongs in the Vatican. And it is free!
Absolutely beautiful church to visit. Free to enter, and no lineup!
They had a mirror displayed in the middle of the church which provides a beautiful view of the artwork on the ceiling. But the lineup does tend to take around 20-30 minutes. If you have the time, it’s worth the wait. But if you’re in a rush, I wouldn’t recommend waiting in line

Santa Maria della Consolazione is a Roman Catholic church in Rome, at the foot of the Palatine Hill and located in the Campitelli area. This city has exceptional churches.
This church is an absolute must-visit when you're in Rome; it's truly beautiful. It has gained immense popularity due to social media videos showcasing the mirror that reveals the fresco. However, it's worth noting that there's so much more to explore beyond that. Many people wait in line just for that quick video and then leave. On the other hand, I had the privilege of joining a guided tour, where they shared intricate details about the painting. This added depth and richness to my visit, making it far more engaging than waiting in a queue for a fleeting video. I hope my pictures can convey the beauty of the painting to you.

Such a peaceful & beautiful place, lots to see and experience. The Mirror didn't overwhelm me like I had been told and in a queue for almost two hours it didn't wow me at all. You can't purchase tickets to view.
Gorgeous basilica built in the 5th century. Several burials of popes as well as the head of Bernini family. This church is another must visit as it is filled with ornates and artifacts. Beyond pretty. You do not need a ticket to enter the church but tickets are required for the mass.
We just happened to stop by on our way somewhere else and I'm really glad we did! The ceiling art created to look like a cupola is interesting even without waiting in line to see it "correctly". Lots of sculptures and paintings to enjoy for free.
Came with my family to light candles and offer prayers for birthday remembrance, for health, forgiveness and peace for the whole world.
Since this basilica is mostly visited by tourists and pilgrims there's a police check point for everyone's safety.

Beautiful basilica in Rome. It’s one of the 4 main churches in Rome. It is grand. Pictures of the popes circle just below the ceiling. In the front you can find St. Paul’s tomb and chains. Definitely must see in Rome
The Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola stands as a magnificent testament to the harmonious blend of architectural brilliance and artistic mastery. Its richly adorned interior and awe-inspiring facade are a tribute to the ingenuity of its creators, providing a glimpse into the extraordinary talent and dedication that went into crafting this architectural marvel.
One cannot help but be in awe of the thoughtfulness in the layout, where every aspect of the architecture and art complements each other seamlessly. The combination of space, light, and artistic expression creates an atmosphere of profound contemplation and wonder, leaving me with an indelible impression of the beauty of human creativity.

Another example of a church with a simple exterior and a fantastic interior of such dramatic colours. Don’t miss the Stuart family crest (Bonny Prince Charles) on the right of the altar above the side chapel. Then find the Latin inscription and place for when Jesus was born oil spurted.
A large church with some excellent interior.
A very interesting church with an interesting interior. A Meridian Line and a large pendulum.
External doors are very simply decorative.

One of the most beautiful churches and structures in Rome. Must-see place if you are in Rome. Very permissive/tolerant dress code and no entrance fee.
Very interesting church displaying the head of John the Baptist. Make sure you have a good look at the pulpit.
The basilica was beautiful with several chapels and informational signs in Italian, French, English, and German. It would be a beautiful place to worship.
Interesting church built with stone and columns from a variety of places
This Basilica is simply breath taking. It suffered fire damage in the 1800's but through funding and amazing work, it is restored and it is a sight to behold. It is well worth a trip from the city center and the portraits of the current and former popes is stunning.
A truly beautiful building, the quiet inside was so calm and peaceful. A humbling experience to have had the privilege of visiting this glorious place.
One of the most beautiful basilica in Rome. It is on par to the extravagance within the Vatican City, but away from the massive crowd. The decorative frescoes and ceiling works will leave you in awe.
It is also a great place to visit if you are a fan of Bernini. As he rest here peacefully.

An absolutely stunning church with an interesting sundial/meridian solar line (including astrological imagery) across the floor. (Be sure to not step on it!) Very easy to overlook from the outside.
Ancient church. Relaxing place to pray or visit if no religious services on. Personal recommendation as we got married there in 40 degree heat in 2003! Back in 2023 to celebrate our 20 year anniversary!
Stunning...
A must see in any visit to Rome. One of the major basilicas of Rome you will not be disappointed spending some time here. Spend some time looking at the beautiful doors. Below the main altar is said to be the remains of Jesus’ crèche. It is one of Pope Francis’ favorite churches to visit.
Beautiful basilica just outside Ancient Rome. It’s one of the main churches in Rome. The scale is grand. Pictures of the popes circle just below the ceiling. In the front you can find St. Paul’s tomb and chains. A lovely mosaic is above the altar.
Looks like a complete ruin or condemned building, but when you step inside your transported to another place.
Breathtaking basilica.
The pictures do not do this place justice.

Very neat old church. They have a line you can wait in to see the ceiling reflected in a mirror, which is pretty cool as well. This is a free, quick stop to see one of the more famous and more interesting churches in Rome. One of the "domes" is a painting that looks like a dome, which is also worth checking out. The church is near the Pantheon and worth it if you have time.
Basilica Santa Maria is one of the oldest church in the city of Rome. It has also one of the oldest fountain in Rome outside in the piazza. If you want to pray and have more spiritual visit to a church, come here. Less tourist coming here so you will have more time to pray without being disturb by lots of visitors.
The interior is majestic with all those numerous granite columns. The ceiling of the basilica is so beautiful and is comparable to all other churches in Rome.
It is open for everyone who wants to visit, the church pews are very well made.
Outside in the courtyard, with it’s fountain is so marvelous. That very square is very busy at night for it is a big gathering place in Trastevere.

Beautiful church. Maybe I'm a little biased because I got married here :)
Small and beautiful church in Trastevere. We love it so much that we went 3 days in a road. Because all the restaurants around are really good to eat. And don’t forget to get gelato at the piazza too. 😉
This basilica is just incredible. It's scale is massive with a breathtaking outdoor antrum. Parrots flit between huge palms and a beautiful statue of St Paul. The interior is next level in both size and beauty. There were very few visitors. Four ornate dedicated chapels are left and right of the main alter. The dome is gorgeously painted. The tomb of St Paul is here. The surrounding exterior grounds are unfortunately nothing of note, fairly run down. I highly recommend seeing this gem on the outskirts of Rome south east ( I think) of Trastevere. There are convenient toilettes as well as a small cafe and gift shop. The shop included wonderful glass mosaics for sale ( not cheap!). There is also a small underground excavated area for €1 entry.
Don't miss this one !!

The main church in the center of the Trastevere area. Very beautiful place, with stunning artwork inside (like so many other places in Rome). Definitely worth a visit when walking around Trastevere.
I passed by this basilica by chance while i was jogging in the morning. It was magnificent from the outside with beautiful garden & statues. The guards said it’s free to visit and he gave me a blue soft clothes material bcz ofc we need to be more cover up to enter the basilica. This is the 2nd biggest basilica in Rome after Basílica San Pietro. In my opinion this Basilica is definitely grandeur … and since it’s in the Garbatella / Ostiense area so not so swamped by tourist, only by well planned/coordinated group of tourist.
They also have other area such as toilet, souvenirs shop, & bar/coffee shop.. & underground archaeological site.
Q: does it have mass / ceremony?
A: yes, it’s an active basilica
Q: what to wear?
A: proper & respectful clothes
Q: do we need ticket to enter?
A: no, you don’t need any ticket & it’s free, there’s a small box of offer available in the entrance & exit. You may visit the garden and some part of the church freely, but to visit some other parts of the church you need to buy the ticket at the souvenir shop (I didn’t ask the price 😅). To visit the underground archaeological site you only need to pay €1.

Hidden gem, the architecture, the surprising details on the frescos and if you are Hungarian, this is a must for you. ( opening times watch out for the middle of the day closure)
Costs 4€ - no longer free. It’s VERY small and nothing really to see. And I mean it - NOTHING.
I accidentally stumbled upon Michelangelo’s last works as my BnB was near here but I was glad I did. The interior, sculptures and how they presented everything was reminiscent of the rich history. It is free entry but am not giving it 5 stars only because I was a little intimidated by some homeless people inside the entry but really not the church’s fault.
Very underwhelming. Not worth a visit
Very beautiful church! We came for the Sunday evening English mass and the service was very well done! The priest was very kind and so welcoming, the choir sang beautifully, and it truly felt like a very special church. The church paintings and relics are also spectacular. If you are in Rome looking for a mass to attend, definitely visit this church, you will feel very welcomed!
The Church of Saint Mary by the Porticus, in Campitelli is a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary located in the narrow Piazza di Campitelli in Rione Sant'Angelo, Rome, Italy. It houses a 25cm icon of the Virgin Mary and Saints Peter and Paul. According to legend, the icon appeared miraculously in 524 at the table of a Roman woman.
An unprepossessing exterior hides an amazing circular interior that is light and airy. The walls are decorated with (rather gruesome) frescoes of martyrdoms - some with lettered legends so you can identify who is who.
A little out of the way, but that makes it quiet. Entrance is on the north side. St Clements is nearby, and makes a good combination trip.

Beautiful church built inside the ruined frigidarium (one of the colder baths inside a bathhouse) of the Roman Baths of Diocletian. It's right in the centre of Rome (Piazza della Repubblica) and a must visit when nearby. We spent over 30 mins just looking at the individual chapels and some areas were open on the day so we were able to see that too.
I'm not a religious person. Yet here I am, on vacation in Italy, where 3/4 of the sites I'll see are religious.
This stuff is just unreal. How is it we made such amazing structures and such amazing art so long ago, when buildings now last only decades, and paint splatter is art.
Viewing this, being here, it just instills this sense of peace in you. It gave me a broader sense of humanity, where we come from and where we're going. That doesn't make much sense, until you've been there.
If you're in Rome, this is something to see, and it's every bit as important as going into the Vatican museum.

This is one of the oldest churches in Rome founded around the year 340. It has been renovated over the years and very old pagan figures were removed and not very good murals were painted on the walls in the 19th century. Still worth a visit though. I enjoyed the visit and it was very busy which added to the atmosphere. The area of Trastevere is well worth a visit and is off the beaten track with winding narrow lanes filled with all manner of independent shops and plenty of small bars and restaurants. Take a good map as it is easy to lose your bearings, we had to ask a policeman to help us find our route to our crossing of the River Tiber
An interestingly unique Basilica that's not very well known or visited. It's situated on a one-way street but you might miss it because the Basilica itself is inside am archway and a garden.
There's a lot of art to be seen but what I found most interesting was the round altar in the middle. In fact, the entire main building is cylindrical.

The Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione is named after an icon of the Virgin Mary which was placed on this site to console criminals who were tossed down off the cliff above the church.
The façade is Mannerist in style, completed in 1600.

The Basilica of San Nicola in Carcere incorporates columns from nearby ancient Roman temples.
The church was rebuilt in 1599, with an early Baroque façade by Giacomo della Porta.
Its umbraculum has an embroidery of itself which itself has a tiny embroidery. The umbraculum is a symbol of papal authority and is given to every basilica.

A beautiful and peaceful church. It had a very positive vibe.
Stopped by randomly as we were walking back from the old Jewish Quarters. As with most churches around Rome, the architecture, ornateness and sculptures are impressive.
Worth a stop if you are in the area.

A beautiful, underrated small church. Deserves a short visit if you're around. The area itself is beautiful and nice to sit around
Hidden gem. Breathtaking like all of Italy.
Beautiful basilica with modern architecture is a nice and vibrant neighbourhood.
Today, I have played the tourist and followed the map from Termini to Vatican
It was supposed to take 1hr walking distance… I ended up arriving 3hrs later and never regretted the effort… some monuments just attracted my heart and I felt obliged to discover and pleasantly surprised to recommend u all to follow the map it will lead u through the inside of Rome and u will be surprised

If you want to save some time and money, go to this church or one of many others since the Sistine chapel is very expensive. If you don't care about the bragging rights, the chapel is not recommended. This one is beautiful and peaceful. The cafe on the corner is very local.
Nice church with modern design, sparse gardens around location but nice views for taking pictures
Amazing church. Has the bones of John the Baptist on display
The church enjoys a prominent position next to Trajan's Forum.
Very unusual Church- very close to an ancient aquaduct, and with quite old buildings around it. Murals inside are faded, but really graphic scenes of early Christian suffering and Martyrdom. They really need restoration. 5 stars if they are easier to view
Was in Roma for a trip and stopped for Mass here. Very well done and in English at 10 AM on Sundays. If I am ever back, I will be stopping back again!
This church was closed for renovations for a part of my stay in Rome. I almost forgot about it but remembered and ventured out for a visit. A beautiful, unique church def worth a visit. The renovations are still ongoing but looks like they've tightened up and restored some of the frescas on surrounding walls. They are unique from any other church I've been to in Rome for the last two months. They each individually represent the persecution of Christians with various forms of torture... awful, awakening and unusual representation of art in church. As it happens I've crashed an Italian wedding. The church was open and while I was there a wedding happened. Truly special.
Beautiful church! We came for the Sunday evening mass in English. By friendly people, Father John was so kind. He offered to let me do the first reading at mass. The building is so reverent and elegant. Even my Presbyterian boyfriend loved the strong sense of community and camaraderie. A true place of veneration to God.
Beautiful place on top of the hill with a great view!
Nice but it's empty on Sunday just 2 person
Sublime atmosphere and magnificent architecture. A major catholic church completed in1667 to reunite the churches of Santa Maria in Campitelli and Santa Maria in Portico. A miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, Santa Maria in Portico, dating back from the XII century, is guarded in this Church. The church was built after the liberation of Rome from the terribile plague epidemic which ended in 1656. The church was built in a baroque style and it features several paintings of baroque painters

Impressive structure on a hill just above E.U.R. Clear white walls, sitting in the heart of a residential area.
The area is quiet and beautiful to be in on a warm and windy day.
Italian horror fans may be interested to know the area features in Dario Argento’s Tenebrae, so little has changed since the movie was shot.
The church is truly overwhelming, a huge structure with some of the most enormous doors you’ll ever see on any building.

Amazing Basilica near metro eur palasport!! Is a great basilica in honour of the famous Italian Saints Pietro and Paolo. Is open and free to enter!! To go to the Basilica have to walk many steps on a hill and view is amazing!! 🇮🇹👌
Big dome church. Near to metro eur fermi.
If u r in that area. Worth to visit . As is Free.

Got married here Dec 1980 and the brothers were kind enough to perform a blessing service celebrating 25 years for myself and my wife early in 2006. A beautiful church with a fascinating history. I don't understand the one star reviews.
Just went, spur of the moment. My wife and I had it to ourselves, and we'll worth the 4 Euros. Bones, ancient temples, etc. Right near Jewish Ghetto and Piazzo Venezia.
Very cool part of rome not a lot of people notice
Small Catholic church right in front of Trajian column. The architecture is very similar to the other church, just 50 meters from it, santa Maria dj Loreno. Botb domes are similar and beautiful. Worth visiting them and if you are lucky they might be open .
Incredible. A must visit if you are in Rome
Really a treat to visit. Wasn't open 10 yrs ago, so it's nice seeing it this trip
very beautiful basilica...quiet and nice
A good place to go in and cool down on a very hot day even if it is just for a moment
Church on top of a historic pagan temple. Can go below to see the remains of the temple and some bones. Went with the Walks of Italy tour and it was very good.

Nice church with MODERN ART in between old church art. We have not seen this kind of modern mindednes in church' s in Rome before.
Amazing but I agree with the top review; only worth it if you're passing by anyways. Don't go out of your way to visit.
Lit true wax candles for your loved ones. Possibility of descending under the church. Old and falling-to-pieces-look from the outside. Concerts are announced at the door.
Wonderful exterior and interior. Sadly unable to take photos within the church.
Impressive interior with some wonderful works of art.
Another lovely baroque church, this one situated at the edge of Trajan's Forum. It creates a nice contrast to it's more ancient surroundings. It's this type of juxtaposition of eras which gives this part of Rome it's sense of layer upon layer of history, all built onto itself.
