Chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Orto

The church of San Giovanni Battista dei Genovesi, built between 1481 and 1492 by a rich Genoese named Meliaduce Cicala, was the national church of the Genoese living in Rome. The church was rebuilt in 1737 and the façade and apse were added. The building then underwent another major restoration in the mid-19th century, with a new façade and internal changes.

The church and convent of Santa Cecilia in Trastavere in Rome was built on the site of the home of St. Cecilia, a martyr of the 3rd century. Her mutilated body was found incorrupt in 1599; a statue under the altar depicts the way it was found. Excavations of Cecilia's Roman house can be explored underneath the church.

The church of San Francesco a Ripa is a sacred building whose origin dates back to the 13th century. In 1603, a restoration of the medieval church began in the choir area, based on a project by Onorio Longhi; the same architect also renovated the transept and the naves. From 1681, thanks to the funding of Cardinal Lazzaro Pallavicino, who died in 1680 and is buried in the church, the building underwent a radical restoration including the demolition and reconstruction of the hall, designed by Mattia de Rossi; the work was completed in 1701. During the French occupation, many works of art were sent to France as part of the Napoleonic spoliations. The church owes its name to its proximity to the suppressed port of Ripa Grande, which overlooked the Tiber until the 19th century.
