Just when you think you’ve seen enough beautiful churches , you see another one and realize you were wrong.

Andrey Opadchiy

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!

Stunning mosaics in the apse. According to tradition, a fountain of oil sprang up here at the moment Jesus was born.

Schitterende kerk in Trastevere

Feels very surreal to be there at the piazza at nightime...

Adriana Iglesias

Beautiful easter sunday!

Antonio Agnone

Side streets have better (and cheaper) eats. Avoid sitting down on the Piazza itself.

Los Viajes de Pitu

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????????

Pedro Huerta

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.

Tanya

Одна из самых прекрасных церквей. Производит неизгладимое впечатление. Приходите вечером, когда подсвечен только мозаичный алтарь и отблески попадают на резной потолок . Это невероятно красиво.

Marco M

Tout simplement superbe ! Un plafond incroyable !!

Daniel Bueno

O melhor do local são as barraquinhas vendendo lanches. Ah! Tem a vista,

Дуже милий олдскульний район. Гуляти, їсти, пити. Ну і тут відчувається дух старого італійського Риму.
