圣母玛利亚广场

台伯河右岸的圣玛利亚教堂前有广场，这里有喷泉，但雕塑不算特别，台基尔部分为台阶，感觉这是很好的休息的地方。从这里看的教堂正面，一楼有柱廊，二楼栏杆上有胜任雕像，二楼窗户上面有马赛克，其上面有笔画，但可惜已经看不清了。后面耸立着钟楼，上部带着马赛克，感觉还不错。教堂内部，主祭坛上部的马赛克很华丽，周围的壁画也很不错。

这边这个广场周围还是有一些商铺的，路面是石板那种，人比较多，很多人聚集在这边聊天，会有点拥挤的感觉，稍微有点到此一游的意味。

这是一个非常美丽的教堂。一天早晨我们到处散步时偶然看见的。我们最后悔的是我们那天早上没带照相机。这是这个美丽城市中一个很好的景点。

这个广场简直太棒了,你就好像是当地人一样,晚上这里每个人都会出来聊天,在喷泉旁边吃冰激凌。这还有很多餐厅和匹萨店。这个地方简直就像明信片上印的那种地方一样。

在特拉斯提弗列区(Trastevere)那附近逛的时候,我们刚好就走到了圣母玛利亚广场。真是个有趣的巧合!我们都不是虔诚的教徒,也不会定期去做礼拜,不过,看过这个小教堂之后,我们还是被它的宁静所感染了。背景音乐轻轻的,听着很舒服,我真是希望把那种音乐录成CD回家放来听!虽然这个地方并不在我们原本的计划中,但这绝对是我在罗马的那个星期去的最喜欢的地方。

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is a hidden gem in Rome. It Is actually the oldest worshiping Christian community, going back to the time of Saints Peter and Paul when they were in Rome. It is in a lovely part of Rome with nice restaurants and cafes nearby. The mosaics are some of the best ones in Rome. When I was in Rome for 7 weeks, I wanted to go see my favorite churches one last time on my last day there. I went to Saint Peter's Basilica, Santa Maria sopra Minerva and this one!! It is an absolute gem!

Relatively simple exterior, but an amazing interior. the many pictures one can watch on web, are not presenting the beauty of this church. every element in the interior is beautiful, and leave deep impression on visitor. We visited the place during evening, and the facade is beautiful. I strongly recommend to visit during day and night.

The atmosphere, the wonderful art and the sense of catholic history is flowing out of this magnificent church. Another must-see in Rome.

A lovely church with nice architecture and paintings/statutes inside. Very quiet both in church and square outside. Liked the stones making up the entrance wall with what looks like old graffitti on.

The centerpiece of Travestere literally and figuratively. An important and gorgeous representation of almost 1,000 years of architecture and art. If you can, visit on Sunday during a mass.

This little square became my favourite place in Rome after I had some wonderful moments there every time passing it. It seems quiet and rather insignificant but somehow it collects those precious moments we all can witness if we stop for a short while. A girl feeding the birds, a dog trying to attract her attention, a group of students sitting on the steps of the fountain and drawing the buildings surrounding the square, couples passing by, ocassional tourists looking at the maps, owners of the cafes looking for clients, old ladies sitting at the entrance to the church and buongiorning you no matter how many times you pass them during the day. It's all gathered there and it's simply magic. I guess we all have special places like this, and I hope you find yours.

Definitely a must see in a great neighborhood. Pope Innocent is also buried here. Quieter destination, a bit off the beaten path, but worth the detour.

If you find yourself in Trastevere to grab a bite (strongly recommended), don't miss the opportunity to visit this church. From the outside, you have no idea how beautiful it truly is. Worth the visit!

Situated in a corner of Piazza Santa Maria, around which are a number of restaurants, it is one of Rome's oldest churches and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. Inside, it has a very serene atmosphere, assisted by being quite dark. There are many small chapels to either side of the nave, each with their own character and features. Decorations behind and above the main altar, including a magnificent mosaic are particularly special. This is definitely worth a visit for something different from most of Rome's other churches and as the centrepiece of a wander around Trastevere.

another good church to visit if you enjoy sight seeeing!!!magnificent like all!!and in the middle of the square!!
