The Church of San Callisto is not very well known or very large, but despite its size, it has many features and works of art that deserve to be seen.
The beauty of the Baroque style of the Church of San Callisto can already be seen from the external facade, but it is its interior that is most striking.
Entering the Church of San Callisto, in fact, we are kidnapped by its nave with pairs of pilasters and its coffered ceiling.
The beauty of the Basilica of Santa Cecilia is not only what we see on the outside, because its interior leaves you absolutely amazed.
The most striking thing in the Basilica of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere is its elegance without excessive pomp. Everything in this church exudes beauty, but there is no exaggeration in it and this makes it very elegant… a real feast for the eyes!
Externally it is easy to understand that the mix between Baroque and Romanesque style is worthy of admiration, but internally there is much more to see.
Inside the three naves of the Basilica of San Crisogono, in fact, we will be able to observe a fusion of elements of the various churches that have arisen right where this Basilica now stands and we will also be able to admire a magnificent apse made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Speaking of majesty: even in Trastevere there is a church that responds well to this term and it is the Church of Santa Maria dell’Orto.
This sacred building, built in the 16th century, stands in Trastevere at the intersection of via Anicia and via Madonna dell’Orto and delightfully blends the Renaissance and Baroque styles, becoming a magical place.
The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is the most important Catholic church in the Trastevere district of Rome and this is because it is the parish seat of the district.
It is located in Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere and has a very interesting history which we will talk about in the next lines.
