Churches in Roma

Rome has more than nine hundred churches, and many hold masterpieces that anywhere else would be in a museum. The four papal basilicas are St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, San Giovanni in Laterano, the city's cathedral, Santa Maria Maggiore with its 5th-century mosaics, and San Paolo fuori le Mura. In the centre, San Luigi dei Francesi has three Caravaggios and Santa Maria sopra Minerva is Rome's only major Gothic church; San Pietro in Vincoli holds Michelangelo's Moses. San Clemente, near the Colosseum, goes down three levels to Roman houses. Cover shoulders and knees to go in.

The centre is easy to cover on foot; the planner puts the stops in order around the time you have.

Your browser will ask to share your location

It's only used to work out how many minutes' walk you are from each place open right now.

  • We only use it to work out distances, and we don't keep it. If you share a walk, its starting point in the link is rounded to about 100 metres.
  • No account, no history, no notifications.
  • Rather not? Pick the city yourself: it works just as well.
