One of the most wonderful basilicas in Rome. Located near Piazza del Campidoglio, at the top of the spectacular 124 marble steps. Plates comes from various ancient buildings. It was built in the 13th century, probably on the site of the ancient temple of Juno. The church was built by Franciscans , probably according to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio. In 1348, on the initiative of Cola di Rienzi , a staircase was added as a votive offering of thanks to the Mother of God for stopping the plague epidemic . The stairs were designed by Lorenzo di Simone di Andreozzo . The interior is an absolute spiritual feast. However, the temple is known primarily from Santo Bambino - the fifteenth-century figurine of the Baby Jesus. The figurine was reportedly stolen on February 1, 1994, and replaced by a copy.

Even though only eight columns remain from the oldest temple in the Roman Fora, it still dominates its surroundings.

The Basilica San Marco Evangelista is one of those treasures of Rome overlooked by visitors. I was there before Christmas and had the basilica completely to myself. There are so many wonderful highlights inside this beautiful church: the apse mosaics, which date back to 827, the elegant portico, gorgeous wooden ceiling, notable tombstones... I am so glad I had a chance to visit it.

This church is completely different with the others—beautiful mosaic floor. A part of the fun is that you will have to ring the bell to enter. But what a find, like entering into the secret garden. Don’t forget to get some of the medicinal cream made in the monastery!

This beautiful temple with unusual shape , was built in 309 after the died of Maxentius’s son , Romulus. As the Temple of Antonio and Faustina , it was incorporated in a church, in this case the church is the Basilica of Sancti Cosma and Damiano. The church is more elevated than the temple , inside you can admire statues, frescoes and busts.

I took a picture (see below) of the Temple of Vespasian and Titus while on Capitoline Hill outside the the Roman Forum. It’s possible to view much of the Forum from that location—for free! I’m glad we viewed while there because it set this temple apart from the others we saw while in the Roman Forum. Just imagining what the complete structure looked like, it still fascinates me to see the ruins standing for almost two thousand years.
