Via Nomentana, 349, 00162 Roma RM, Italy

“The Basilica Sant'Agnese Fuori le Mura is located in Quartiere V (Nomentano) in Via Nomentana 349 in Rome. This building was built by Pope Honorius I (pontificate 625 – 638) in the 7th century to replace the ancient Constantinian basilica now in ruins. It was built over the tomb of the martyr Agnes and her sister Emerenziana, which we can currently visit by accessing the Crypt. . Over the centuries it underwent important restorations and additions, such as the quadrangular bell tower and subsequently the current façade. The interior of the Basilica has three naves, the larger central one and three chapels on each side, with an upper gallery on the sides as in early Christian churches. The division of the naves is determined by two rows of ancient columns with capitals, the beautiful gilded and coffered wooden ceiling rich in decorations (early 17th century) also stands out. Also very beautiful is the main altar surmounted by a rich tabernacle and the apse basin with a suggestive mosaic work (6th century) depicting Saint Agnes and two Popes. Last notable note is the first opening on the right, relating to a suggestive staircase, which leads to the upper part of the complex, its path is rich in archaeological finds and frescoes.”

Via del Mortaro, 24, 00187 Roma RM, Italy

A picture of Our Lady was floating on the waters… today in the chapel (the first on the right of the current church) there is still the well of the miracle. So don’t forget to drink some holy water.”

Piazza di Santa Maria Ausiliatrice, 54, 00181 Roma RM, Italy

“majestic”

Piazza S. Simpliciano, 7, 20100 Milano MI, Italy

“Romanesque church. The facade of the building at the front and around the sides have done interesting some triple mullioned windows and decorative arches. The inside is kept pretty dark outside of religious hours and chloral music play, which make visiting the church very atmospheric. The two marian chapels at the transepts are especially inspiring due to the lighting on the chapel dedication and enhanced by the darkness of the interior. Just inside is some information in English and Italian, which makes the visit just a little more interesting as it gives things some context.”

Piazza Erbe, 46100 Mantova MN, Italy

25080 Montecastello, Province of Brescia, Italy

“The climb to the church is steep, but it's worth it. You should definitely climb the few more meters in altitude to the summit cross. There are great views and good history information on the way there. The takeaway prices are perfectly fair for the view you have while enjoying the drink and the toilets are very clean.”

Via Appia Antica, 51, 00179 Roma RM, Italy

“What a wonderful small church off the Appian Way. Regardless of your faith, the history and message are powerful. I know some may debate authenticity and historical accuracy, but to me, I believe in the message. To imagine the time period, and to think that Peter’s feet may have touched this stone is just unfathomable to me. Highly recommend a visit to pause, rest and reflect.”

Via dell'Abbazia, 7, 20098 Viboldone MI, Italy

“A Green quiet walk or stroll on a Sunday morning before it gets too hot. It's a bit sad to see so many structures boarded up and crumbling down. But well worth a visit, especially if you are interested in farm buildings from passed generations, or if you enjoy a quiet, peaceful stroll.”
