San Pietro in Vincoli

It was first constructed in the 5^th century and it was made to house the relic of the chains that hold Saint Peter when he got imprisoned in Jerusalem. It was then that the Pope held the chains of Peter. The basilica has moved through several renovations in many years but remains open nowadays.

It is the most popular attraction that got finished in the year 1515 and was a part of the 47 statue free standing monument for Pope Julius II. It is located at Piazza San Pietro in Vincoli 4A.

Maria della Vittoria

It was actually designed by Carlo Mademo who was a leading Roman architect of the 17^th century whose name was Maria della Vittoria. He made the nice interiors to make it appear like a theater. The statues of the Cornaro family lie in the box seats viewing the center stage.

Santa Maria in Domnica alla Navicella

It is located on the Celio Hill top and was made in the 5^th century. The basilica concentrated on ministering to the poor and it is a task given to the deacons. A mosaic exhibited the Blessed Virgin Mary who actually sits on the throne with Baby Jesus sitting on her lap in the church’s center. There is also an in-depth history between the Medici family and the chapel.

Sant’Ambrogio della Massima is not that simple to discover. It is not visible from the ground. The basilica is made like a cross and has a dome. It is thought that this church is dated back to the 4^th century. The chapel used to be the first home to St. Marcellina. The interior of the church has got rich gold stucco decorations and frescos that exhibit Mary’s life.
