Churches
Santa Cecilia in Trastevere (Piazza di Santa Cecilia)
The church was constructed between 817 and 824, on the site of an earlier fifth century building. It has a vast courtyard and garden in front. The facade by Ferdinando Fuga is eighteenth century in style, with a beautiful medieval doorway and a twelfth-century belltower. Inside there are three naves and the famous statue of Saint Cecilia, created in the seventeenth century by Stefano Maderno. Upon the altar stands a gothic tabernacle by Arnolfo di Cambio. |
