Churches in Rome

One of the richest places with regards to cultural heritage, Rome, otherwise known as the “Eternal City” and Paris, is one of the best. Almost everywhere in Rome, you can see buildings that have been there for hundreds of years. n amongst all these monuments, churches are renowned for their beauty, such as the Sistine Chapel, for example. However, Rome is a city always filled with tourists, therefore I would invite you to book an appartamento Roma before coming. Churches listed in Rome.

St. St Peter Cathedral

This is THE sanctuary of the Christian religion. With a facade of 45 metres high and its enormous 136 metre dome, St Pierre’s basilica is the biggest Church in the world, and offers a magnificent view over the public gardens bearing the same name, which were conceived by Bernini. Greatness and splendour are the first sensations received when going up the Via della Conciliazione towards Piazza San Pietro. One of the main oeuvres of art in the interior of the church is Michelangelo’s sculpture “Pieta”, which was created between 1498 and 1500.

The Sistine Chapel

The chapel owes its name to Sixtus IV, the pope who ordered the construction of the chapel at the end of the 14th Century. The chapel has been decorated by famous paintings from the 15th Century, such as those by Botticelli and the Ghirlandaio. Later, during the 16th Century, Michelangelo was requested to paint all of the frescoes on the vaulted ceiling of the chapel: roughly 1000msq. He painted frescoes representing stories from the Bible, such as the stunning “Universal Judgement” which provoked a scandal due to the fact that the 400 figures within the fresco were nude. He also painted here the “Creation of Humanity”.

San Giovanni in Laterano

This is the Cathedral of Rome, and the second largest church after St. Peter Basilica. IIn 314 A.D, the original house of God was constructed.D., when the Emperor Constantine gave the land over to the pope. The current building comprises the church, the baptistery, the Palazzo Lateranense, the Scala Santa and the hospital of San Giovanni.

St. Paul’s

This church is located in Via Ostiense and was founded in 330 A.D. However, it was only completed during the 5th Century. To commemorate Diacre Lorenzo, who became a martyr under Pope Sixtus II during the 3rd Century A.D, Constantine decreed that the church be constructed.D., with a magnificent resting place.

Santa Maria Maggiore

This church is located upon the Esquilino hill and it is the first Roman church to have been named after the Virgin Saint. It has the tallest clock tower in Rome and according to historical sources, pieces of wood dating back to the birth of Jesus have been preserved. This is why, during a particular epoch the church was called Santa Maria Ad Praesepe.

As you’ll appreciate, visiting these churches in their entireity needs quite a lot of time. This modern day metropolis wasn’t built in a day and nor should it be explored in just a day. Take the time to explore and reserve Rome apartments or alloggi Roma for yourselves.
