Amazing! This place is so grand. I was lucky enough to see a performance on the grand organ. It was beautiful.

Don't judge a book by its cover applies to this beautiful basilica...enjoy the pics attached.

A very interesting church with an interesting interior. A Meridian Line and a large pendulum.
External doors are very simply decorative.
Archil Pitimashvili
One of the most beautiful churches and structures in Rome. Must-see place if you are in Rome. Very permissive/tolerant dress code and no entrance fee.

The basilica was beautiful with several chapels and informational signs in Italian, French, English, and German. It would be a beautiful place to worship.
Cheryl Shearer
A truly beautiful building, the quiet inside was so calm and peaceful. A humbling experience to have had the privilege of visiting this glorious place.

An absolutely stunning church with an interesting sundial/meridian solar line (including astrological imagery) across the floor. (Be sure to not step on it!) Very easy to overlook from the outside.
Joe Darden
Looks like a complete ruin or condemned building, but when you step inside your transported to another place.

Breathtaking basilica.
The pictures do not do this place justice.

I accidentally stumbled upon Michelangelo’s last works as my BnB was near here but I was glad I did. The interior, sculptures and how they presented everything was reminiscent of the rich history. It is free entry but am not giving it 5 stars only because I was a little intimidated by some homeless people inside the entry but really not the church’s fault.

Beautiful church built inside the ruined frigidarium (one of the colder baths inside a bathhouse) of the Roman Baths of Diocletian. It's right in the centre of Rome (Piazza della Repubblica) and a must visit when nearby. We spent over 30 mins just looking at the individual chapels and some areas were open on the day so we were able to see that too.
