Basilique Sainte - Marie - Majeure

Il n'est pas très publicisé mais il est l'une des plus belles églises de Rome et du monde entier. Préparez-vous à marcher avec la tête, car les plafonds sont un œuvre d'art. Il n'y a pas un coin ici qui ne mérite pas d'être admiré.

Connu en italien est la cathédrale de la Mère de la Neve (Basilica di Santa Maria della Neve), l'une des quatre grandes cathédrales de l'Eglise catholique romaine, située à Rome, en Italie.

C'est une église qui a été construite dans la neige de ce soir, qui est l'origine de la célébration de cette église, un œil de la Sainte-Mateuse, qui est très élevée dans le cœur des Romains et est célèbre pour être l'un des quatre grands saints catholiques.

L'église principale de Trastevere. C'est pleine d'art et de charme. Il mérite vraiment une visite!

Perhaps the most famous church in this district, it's one of four papal basilicas and Rome's largest Marian church. Built in 430 AD it has had constant additions and alterations to create the highly decorated basilica you see today.Piazza Madonna dei Monti is the center of civic life for the neighborhood, little kids kick balls while old ladies gossip by day; while teens and 20-somethings come out in droves in the evening to hang out in this piazza. The fountain splashes bubbly background music to any happenings here.

The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is the most important and best preserved of Roman churches dedicated to the Madonna. It rises on top of the Esquiline Hill and is the only remaining example of early Christian architecture, even though it has over time been further embellished.

Visit Santa Maria Maggiore (St. Mary Major) if only to see Bernini's magnificant staircase! There are 80 churches in Rome dedicated to Mary. This is the largest and considered the most important, thus, the label "maggiore". Along with St. Peter's, St. John's and St. Paul's, this is one of four papal basilicas in Rome. Dating back to the 5th century, Santa Maria Maggiore has a spectacular interior, with ornate chapels and a gilded ceiling. Admission is free. It is easy to reach, with several metro stops in the vicinity. This is a good place to visit if you are picking up Papal Audience tickets at the Church of Santa Susanna, which is nearby.
