to see all the churches in the city of Rome would need to spend nearly a year of our life and visit several each day. As my stay was much shorter, these are some of the churches we went by on his way to other places in Rome. say
Chiesa di S. Ivo alla Sapienza:
This church baroque architect Francesco Borromini is located in the University of Rome. Here you will see from the arcaded courtyard, where the dome stands spiral, very different from those of other churches in the city.
Chiesa Nuova:
is located in one of the main streets of the city, the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, where its white baroque facade.
Inside, the ceiling frescoes include Pietro da Cortona and Rubens paintings that we can see on the altar and the apse.
In one of the chapels is buried San Felipe Neri, whose chapel is located next to the church.
Chiesa di San Ambrogio e Carlo
business located in Via del Corso, the church is the third largest dome in the city after St. Peter and Sant 'Andrea della Valle.
100% has a baroque interior with an abundance of marble and golden color of the wood paneling covering most of the roof.
In the altar we see a huge altarpiece depicting the glory of San Carlos, San Ambrosio and San Sebastian, which are surrounded by the figures of Christ, the Virgin and angels.
Chiesa di Santa Maria del Anima:
Behind the Piazza Navona and close to Santa Maria della Pace is the church of Santa Maria del Anima, venue of the German Catholics living in Rome.
Most Highlight the interior is the altar table representing the Holy Family with St. John the Baptist, San Marcos and Santiago, the work of Giulio Romano.
Chiesa della Scala Santa:
This staircase of 28 steps of marble brought from the palace of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem is the same reason that Jesus came to the palace on Good Friday to trial.
In a sign of respect and penance, it is tradition to climb these stairs on their knees to the top, where we can see the Sancta Santorum, a chapel dedicated to San Lorenzo and contains many relics.
Also in this chapel is the Christ "akeropita" which means "not painted by human hands." The staircase has two stairs santa on each side by which we can access the top floor without having to comply with the tradition of his knees up the central staircase.
As we left corner of the Chiessa della Scala Santa, we can see the Triclinium of Leo, an outdoor mosaic that is the last remnant of the Papal Palace which was in this place in time Pope Leo III.
St Peter in Chains:
Close to the Colosseum we find the church that keeps the chains that bound St. Peter during his imprisonment in Jerusalem and now we can see in a shrine beneath the high altar of this church.
However, this church is mostly visited by the sculpture known worldwide as "The Moses of Michelangelo", which is part of the sculpture that decorates the tomb of Pope Julius II, originally intended to be located in the Basilica of St. Peter's Basilica.
In this sculpture Michelangelo Moses wanted to represent sitting immediately after receiving the tablets of the Commandments holding under his arm, stroking his beard with the other hand, looks with anger to the people of Israel that continues to idolize other pagan gods.
If you look at his right knee, we can see a mark made by Michelangelo himself, since according to legend, the end of the sculpture the artist hit the statue in the knee and asked "why not talk to me?" as the perfection of his works only lacked life.
Apart from these, there are many other churches that as you go walking around the city can enter even 5 minutes, and although these visits yourselves completely at random, is hard enough you find a church that disappoint you, since more than 15 or 20 that I visited in the 3 days I was in Rome, all had , one painting, sculpture, glass or paneling that caught my attention and made the stop to visit worthwhile.
can then access the articles of some of the ones I liked and viewed on a map the location of that memory:
Church of Sta Maria Minerva
Church of San Ignazio
Church of Santa Maria Magiore
Church of St. Giovanni in Laterano

Foro de Trajano - Rome
Trajan's Forum is the most important extensions of the Roman forum held between the end of the republic and the principle of imperial Rome, specifically between 107 and 112.
This Forum, the largest of the four Imperial Forums (Forum of Caesar, Forum of Nerva, Forum of Augustus and Trajan's Forum) erected near the Roman Forum, was designed by architect Apollodorus of Damascus, in charge of carrying out complex designed by the first emperor born outside of Italy, Marco Ulpius Sevillano Trajan.
Built around a square of 200x120 meters, was built Trajan's markets, a large semicircular area of \u200b\u200b6 commercial plants which were more than 150 shops spread over several levels which traded with different products, so it is considered as the first indoor mall ever.
At the lowest level, being in contact with the forum, was careful aesthetics and ornamentation of the facade, adding frescoes and mosaics ceilings and floors of these premises.
In the next two levels were the tabernae, a local-oriented forum in which they traded for food, oil, wine ...
The upper floors were occupied by Offces.
In another side of the square stood the Basilica forum Ulpia, which we can only see the remains of some columns between the bridge and the column of Trajan.
Behind the remains of the Basilica Ulpia we find the Trajan Column, a monument commemorating the victory of Emperor Trajan over the Dacians built in year 114.
With 38 meters high and 200 meters of bas-relief carved in a spiral that gives 23 laps to the column detailing each of the military campaigns of the emperor, this was the site chosen by the Trajan himself to his ashes should rest once dead.
In fact, when he died in the year 117, placed his ashes in a golden urn on the pedestal of the column, but now desonoce whereabouts of their ashes.
A curiosity of Trajan's column is that inside is a spiral staircase that allows access to the upper platform, but is not open to the public.
En el pedestal de 8 metros que soporta la columna, podemos ver la siguiente inscripción:
La traducción aproximada sería la siguiente:
El senado y el pueblo romano, al emperador Caesar Nerva Trajan Augustus Germanicus Dacic, son of the divine Nerva, Pontifex Maximus, Tribune for the seventeenth time, Emperor for the sixth time, consul for the sixth time, the father of the nation, to show how high the mountain and the place now destroyed to like this.
short, this inscription served to publicize the height of the hill that stood there before the construction of Trajan's Forum, for which they had to dig much of the Quirinal Hill in whose clearance was used to build most of the Trajan Market.
