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.

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.

Loved popping in to this church. In a narrow street behind another old favourite, S Agostino, this packs a powerful baroque punch for one small church. If you walk past and see the door open, don’t hesitate!

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

I enjoy discovering new churches while on my pilgrimages in Rome. I noticed the nondescript Chiesa di San Salvatore in Lauro while walking along the Via dei Coronari to St Peter's Basilica. The adjacent piazza seems like a fun gathering place for locals and their children to play. I gave it no thought but then a few metres long the via, I noticed a street sign that invited you to visit the relics of St Padre Pio at the Chiesa di San Salvatore. It was one day after the feast day of the saint so I decided I had to visit on my return. I am glad I did as the church is beautiful on the inside and the St Padre Pio display very special. I attended daily Mass along with many worshipers and parishioners and the Mass was celebrated by not just a priest but by seven priests and deacons which made the Mass that much more special. If you are on a pilgrimage to Rome and actually walking around St Peter's and area like I did, another 15 minute walk to the Chiesa di San Salvatore should be on your itinerary.

LA CHIESA RIMARRA' CHIUSA PER RESTAURO FINO A FINE LAVORI. La Chiesa di Santa Maria del Suffragio, voluta dalla Confraternita del Suffragio e costruita su un progetto del 1662 dell'architetto Carlo Rainaldi, (1611-1691) viene terminata nel 1669 e occupata dall'Arciconfraternita del Suffragio solo nei 1675. Il progetto iniziale proposto da Carlo Rainaldi nel 1662, era innovatore rispetto allo schema tradizionale degli edifici adibiti al culto, in quanto prevedeva una pianta ovale, con sei cappelle uguali fra loro aperte lungo il perimetro e la cappella dell'altare maggiore sul fondo.
