Worth the stop. The mosaics are glorious. Iconography gives a nice blend of the church of the east and the west. Among Rome’s most impressive churches.

Churches in Rome were not built without a reason. Something symbolic was going to happen. In this case, an oily fountain scored. Scientists say it was oil. However, the Romans did not develop oil...

The mosaics outside as well as those inside are fabulous, byzantine style, from the 13th century. This Church is the most beautiful in trastevere, the interior being the combination of different styles of byzantine, renaissance and baroque era. The piazza in front is also the preferred spot for hanging around and having dinner as the view is so beautiful

Spectacular place in Trestevare. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the day. It's free to go inside the church
