Santa Maria in Trastevere (Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere)
A basilica dating to the fourth century, it was rebuilt according to the wishes of Innocent II in 1130, with the addition of a Roman belltower. On the front one can see a twelfth-century mosaic of the Madonna enthroned with Child. The doorway from 1702 is the work of Carlo Fontana. The interior, with three naves, presents a floor in the "Cosmati" style and a panelled ceiling by Domenichino. Particularly interesting are the thirteenth-century mosaics of the apse, by Pietro Cavallini. |
