The Jesu is one of my favorites. The ceiling is the most spectacular (in my opinion). It also has the body of St. Ignatius which is displayed every evening
Am visiting Rome next month, will be sure to include St Paul's outside the walls, But for your video, would have missed it. Also would love to see Caravaggio's in situ- now trying to see how to fit it all in my days in Rome. Thanks a lot, Alyssa!
Wonderful presentation. Been more than 20 times to Rome. Cannot decide either. Maybe - San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane - San Giacomo in Augusta - San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane - Sant’Agnese fuori le mura - ??? Cheers
It is also good to note that among the four Major Papal Basilicas that you have mentioned, San Giovanni is the only one that has a special title of Cathedral-Archbasilica. It is the only Basilica (among four) that has a Cathedra -- the seat of the Bishop of Rome which is the Pope, making San Giovanni as the Mother Church of all the Catholics in the world.
I want to see the one with the rotunda inside, with the pillars in a circle. (You mentioned it, but I'm not so sure how to write it.) I loved this video.
We were walking by Sainte Louis de France, and lots of people were going in and out. I couldn't figure out why because the time was wrong for any service I could think of. So we went inside it was dark except for the paintings on both sides of the transept were lit. Outside the sign was in Italian and French instead of everything else I saw was Italian and English. Are any churches older than the Pantheon? BTW are any of these churches not Catholic?
Did you ever find out what the paintings were?? Apparently The Basilica of Santa Pudenziana is the oldest church in Rome. It was built on top of Roman ruins, and instead of using the date that the new structure was built, they consider the ruin's date to be how old the church is. That's very very common to find churches built on top of ruins here. I believe all of them are Catholic, but don't quote me on that!
San Clemente on via Labicana, and Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in Piazza della Republica are two of my favorites, with honorable mention to Santa Maria Sopra Minerva and San Pietro in Vincoli

Santa Prasaede!
Basilica of Saints Ambrogio and Carlo al Corso and San Agnese in Agone are also great
Santa Prassede is an incredible one too
THIS ONE!
Very helpful. I was looking for Caravaggio works beside Galleria Borghese . Now I know where to find them.

Basilica di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere! ❤❤❤

Hope you have an amazing trip!
Santa Constanza, just outside the walls. The fourth-century mosaics are marvelous.

Sant Andrea al Quirinile. Bernini thought it was his finest work.
Santa croce in Gerusalemme
San Clemente on via Labicana, and Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in Piazza della Republica are two of my favorites, with honorable mention to Santa Maria Sopra Minerva and San Pietro in Vincoli
LOVE those suggestions!!!!
For Bernini, Santa Maria Della Vittoria and for sheer magic, Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
Credo che come arte e monumenti Roma e imbattibile
Absolutely
