The church of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the most ancient basilicas in Rome, and, if you are not familiar with Trastevere (across the Tiber), it's a bit away from the main tourist areas. But an 'H' bus will take you fairly close. Get off at Largo Belli just over the river and then take a short walk... More

I arrived there in the evening so it was a sort of a commination...the sound of the chorus was splendid, and the church is great, as any of the others basilicas of Rome More

This was my third favorite church on my trip to rome venice and paris, so you know we saw a ton of churches. located in a cool neighborhood of trastevere in a piazza with a fountain.

This church is amazing, I don't know how well visited it is, but if you are doing the Trastevere Walk or the Jewish ghetto, it is well worth looking up. A tip. If you have a mobile phone with memory, download a talking guide of Rick Steve. He really brings sites to life and makes them interesting! More
