Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

This church is right off the Piazza Navona. It has art work from several Renaissance masters that you wouldn’t expect in a church that is off the main radar of people visiting Rome. If your in Rome on Sunday, mass is lovely here in an intimate setting. Worth a visit.

Just over the river bridge from the Vatican as you’re walking towards the City center. There’s a small stone like fountain in front. I posted a picture. Free entry and absolutely incredible

Bellissimo monumento della cristianità. Una chiesa ricca di storia ed arte, con la seconda cupola più alta di Roma. E' stato un tuffo nella bellezza! Beautiful experience in Sant' Andrea della Velle. Inside you can find an interesting audioguide that the volunteers give you for a visit this beautiful church. The audioguides are given to you gratis, and you can give them an offer to help! Really suggest

This church has a magnificent Caravaggio, the Madonna of the Pilgrims. Spend the Eur 1 to light the painting and enjoy. It is also within walking distance from San Luigi dei Francesi which is always mobbed, but not as well known as having a Caravaggio in situ.

If I have one suggestion for Rome visitors, never pass up an opportunity to enter a church, no matter how inconspicuous they appear from the outside. This is our second visit, this time we were the guides for friends and family who came along this trip.This was a lesson we learned when, on a lark, we decided to check out the Basilica di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva because it was right outside our hotel...NEVER use the outside facade as an indication as to what is inside. The Art work, craftsmanship, and over the top elaborate side chapels are amazing. Show less
