Chiesa di Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino

The Basilica of Saints Boniface and Alexis was built between the 4th and 5th centuries. In 1216, Pope Honorius III (1216-1227) ordered the reconstruction of the complex; the restoration of 1582 was followed by the reconstruction of Tommaso De Marchis in the 1750s and the reconstruction by Somaschi from 1852 to 1860. The modern church retains elements from all these periods. The bell tower is Romanesque, some columns from the church of Honorius are present in the eastern apse of the modern church, the portico is medieval; the 16th-century façade, reworked by De Marchis, highlights the medieval portico.

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.

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.
