Chiesa di Santa Maria di Loreto

The Waldensian Evangelical Church of Trevi is a project of Benedetto Andolfi, built in 1883-84. The construction was carried out under the impetus of the Waldensian community recently settled in Rome. The exterior is in neo-Romanesque style and the main entrance of the building consists of a large semicircular arch with a wall almost entirely mosaic of phytomorphic elements, in the centre of which is the portal with a semicircular lunette and a rose window with a marble frame with arches.

The Basilica of the Holy Apostles was first built in the 4th century by Pope Julius I (337-352). The present church, however, was built from the 14th century onwards, as the old Basilica of the Holy Apostles was destroyed by an earthquake in 1348 and abandoned. The façade was built at the end of the 15th century by Baccio Pontelli. The frescoes were painted by Melozzo of Forlì, whose murals of the Holy Apostles are renowned for their innovative perspective techniques and are considered his masterpiece. Today, the basilica is under the responsibility of the Franciscan conventual order, whose headquarters are in Rome in an adjacent building.

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli stands on the hill of the Campidoglio. The church, whose original name was Santa Maria in Capitolio, was part of the complex of buildings of a monastery that had settled on the Capitoline hill while the rest of the ancient Roman buildings was in ruins.
