After Saint Paul was decapitated, it was said that his severed head bounced on the ground three times, giving rise to a source of water each time that it touched the ground. As such, this place earned t...

Chiesa di Sant'Angelo in Pescheria
Catholic church
👍👍 Era ora. Dopo decenni infiniti di impalcature e porte chiuse finalmente è libera, visitabile e molto vissuta grazie all'attività del parroco. Entrando - si passa da due camminamenti che costeggiano il portico, scelto per sostituire la facciata - verrete colpiti dalla semplicità (è tra le più antiche...

Chiesa Santo Stanislao dei Polacchi
Catholic church
👍👍 A beautiful little church with soul. Mass without unnecessary talk, nice sermon. They do a lot of good. Next to the office, confession is possible. It's easy to find a Polish flag hanging in front of the entrance.

Chiesa di Santa Brigida

👍👍 ["Casa di Santa Brigida is a glorious time machine to the real city of Rome. Goethe said \"Only in Rome is it possible to understand Rome.\" And at the Casa di Santa Brigida on the Piazza Farnese - you can stay in luxury accommodations from another age that will perhaps allow you to experience the c...

Chiesetta di Santa Maria in Cappella
Catholic church
👍👍 ["Una chiesetta nascosta che fa parte del complesso dello Spitale di Santa Francesca Romana e ne costituisce la parte pi\u00f9 suggestiva e pi\u00f9 misteriosa e controversa. Della struttura romanica (risale al 1090) conserva l'apparato esterno e quello che si vede oggi purtroppo \u00e8 frutto dei r...

Basilica of San Paolo alla Regola

The Chutch features a modest architecture, especially compared to the great Italian Baroque of the Rom,an Basilicas and near by churches, but this is the place were St. Paul spent his time as a prisoner...

Chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Orazione e morte
Catholic church
👍👍 One of the many hidden gems in Rome. The story of this church is bittersweet. Unfortunately the church is pretty much closed all the time. You should have the luck to sneak in at the end of a religious celebration. Definitely ask to who is responsible to visit the crypt.
