The basilica was probably the first official christian cult place in Rome. According to the legend, it was ordered by Pope Callisto I during C.III and completed by the hand of San Giulio. Place Managed by the Rome's Tourism Dept. in collaboration with //Avanti Concept Agency
Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere 00153 Rome Latium Italy
Just when you think you’ve seen enough beautiful churches , you see another one and realize you were wrong.
When the sun comes out, a soft, yellow light from the windows makes this basilica one of the most impressive and inspiring in the Trastevere district
Gold, gold and more gold! Magnificent Byzantine style decorated church located in an eclectic area of Rome.
The pictures left by those who’ve left their tips have done it justice. It’s one of the oldest churches in Roma. It’s also some of the most beautiful (and oldest mosaics ) I’ve ever laid my eyes on.
Very interesting architecture , obviously many orthodoxical art elements. As usually, huge, but okay, I'm used to it (in Rome). A piece of art , indeed. Worth a visit when in trastevere!
beautiful church ! a must see, very detailed ????????
take time to check out the burial stones of early Christians (who had gone b4 us) on the walls located at the entrance. prayed 4 them. like the mosaic ... our Lord puts his hand around his mom =)
Stunning mosaics in the apse. According to tradition, a fountain of oil sprang up here at the moment Jesus was born.
Wonderful church . A little gem and a must see in Rome!
Good little square with some bars and cafes . Various artists play for tips.
Must see if you are passing by. Very beautiful inside
Under renovation. The first church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Absolutely impressive interior
The ceiling is just beautiful.
Beautiful roof, stunningly decorated!
The roof is so ornate.
Stunning church . Worth visiting
Beautiful mosaic architecture . :)
Avoid crowded times to best enjoy the atmosphere of the nearby square.
7th cen. painting of Maria, in the chapel left of the alter
Check out the elaborate nave. So much gold...
Envolvente
Arrive at 8:30 for the evening prayer before closing.
Schitterende kerk in Trastevere
Feels very surreal to be there at the piazza at nightime...
Beautiful easter sunday!
Side streets have better (and cheaper) eats. Avoid sitting down on the Piazza itself.
Situada en el bohemio y encantador barrio del Trastevere. Especial atención a las diferencias de las columnas que componen la Iglesia y a la estatua de San Antonio????????
Un mar de mosaicos para contemplar y sentir
Fu forse la prima chiesa di Roma aperta ufficialmente al culto. Nel presbiterio, in un gradino, sulla destra c'è il punto dove sarebbe scaturito olio prodigioso quale preannuncio della venuta di Gesù.
Одна из самых прекрасных церквей. Производит неизгладимое впечатление. Приходите вечером, когда подсвечен только мозаичный алтарь и отблески попадают на резной потолок . Это невероятно красиво.
Tout simplement superbe ! Un plafond incroyable !!
O melhor do local são as barraquinhas vendendo lanches. Ah! Tem a vista,
Les messes dans cette basilique sont très émouvantes.
Una de las basílicas más hermosas de Roma. Su iluminación te envuelve
Stupenda la volta a cassettoni
Preciosa iglesia que los turistas omiten.
Очень красивая Базилика
Según Lonely Planet existe una inscripción donde se produjo el "milagro del aceite ", ¡búscala!, pues yo aún sigo haciéndolo...
splendida piazza splendida chiesa splendido quartiere
El techo te dejara con la boca abierta...
Zona nocturna, excelente
Tarih... :-)
Дуже милий олдскульний район. Гуляти, їсти, пити. Ну і тут відчувається дух старого італійського Риму.
