San Pietro alla Carità
Catholic church
👍 Nonostante gli sperticati copia e incolla delle altre recensioni, quello che troverete in questa bella chiesa è il frutto del consistente recupero dovuto al restauro degli anni 50 dopo il pesante bombardamento subito. La facciata, con il campanile, accanto il vecchio ingresso a Villa d'Este restitui...

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 image

Chiesa di Santa Brigida
Catholic church
👍👍 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 class...

Chiesa di Maria del SS. Sacramento - Padri Trappisti
Monastery
👍👍 Un luogo sacro amato da Dio. Una Comunità fantastica, piena di Spirito Santo. Consiglio a tutti, uomini, donne e coppie sposate (anche in crisi di rapporto di coppia), di trascorrere almeno una volta nella propria vita un fine settimana qui, ospiti di questa Comunità di Frati, in preghiera "full imm...

Chiesa Madonna del Lago
Catholic church
👍👍 Excellent idea for those who are on the lake and want to go to mass... Let's hope they also include weekday masses in the summer. It is very suggestive.... Beautiful I would say ❣️

Chiesetta di Santa Maria in Cappella image

Chiesetta di Santa Maria in Cappella
Catholic church
👍👍 Questa piccola ma antica chiesetta fu fondata il 25 marzo 1090 durante il pontificato di Urbano II (1088-1090) con il nome di "S.Maria ad pineam", come riportato su un'epigrafe posta all'interno. Questa stessa epigrafe, secondo alcuni, spiegherebbe anche l'appellativo che le fu assegnato in seguito...

Chiesa dei Santi Biagio e Carlo ai Catinari image

Chiesa dei Santi Biagio e Carlo ai Catinari
Catholic church
😐 I can't say more because unfortunately it cannot be visited, having been closed since 2016 due to the damage (and collapses) following the earthquake that devastated central Italy. It would be beautiful but so far it is. This church stands on the remains of a small church dating back to the 12th cen...

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Rotonda
Catholic church
👍👍 Beautiful church where only weddings are held, no longer masses.. Our guide Angelo never stopped praising it as if it were the end of the world and he is absolutely right. It's a shame that buildings have been built on both sides that don't benefit it.. the exterior as you can see in the photos is o...

Chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Orazione e morte image

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.

Parrocchia di San Gregorio Magno
Catholic church
👍 Monte Porzio Catone Roma. Piazza del Duomo. Una chiesa antica nel bel mezzo del paese.Se la guardi da lontano...mentre imbocchi il viottolo che che la guarda...sembra che ti invita ad andare verso di lei! L'interno non è grandissimo...ma è colma di affreschi e opere sacre. I sacerdoti sono molto dis...

Parrocchia San Filippo Neri - Cecchina
Catholic church
👍 The parish is a place of welcome and aggregation for all ages. The Church is always open to allow everyone to access at any time. I met the parish priest Father Franco, a fantastic person who dedicates himself first and foremost to children. There were places like that.

Chiesa di San Callisto image
15
Chiesa di San Callisto
Catholic church
👍 Of ancient origins, according to tradition it was built on the house where Pope Callixtus I (217-222) usually retreated to pray and where he suffered martyrdom by drowning: in the courtyard of the former convent, annexed to the church, there is the wellhead where the pontiff is said to have been mar...

Chiesa del Gesù

👍 Гарна історична католицька церква в цетрі міста Фраскаті. Церква збудована в XIV столітті. Дуже гарно оформлена в середині. Ми були в будній день, церква була закрита.

Basilica of San Paolo alla Regola image

Basilica of San Paolo alla Regola
Catholic church
👍👍 One of the hidden jewels of Christian Rome, hidden in the small Piazza di 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...
