Historic Churches & Temples

Rome’s spiritual landscape spans two millennia, from the Pantheon’s ancient concrete dome to the Baroque intensity of Borromini’s Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza. This collection highlights the city’s major papal basilicas, including the cathedral of Saint John Lateran and the Marian mosaics of Saint Mary Major. Visitors can explore the artistic evolution of the Renaissance at Santa Maria del Popolo, view Michelangelo’s Moses at Saint Peter in Chains, or descend into the layered history of the Basilica of St. Clement, where medieval structures sit atop ancient Roman ruins and early Christian temples.
