Church of Jesus and Mary

The Church of Jesus and Mary is a baroque church built between 1633 and 1675. The site and its buildings were purchased by the Discalced Augustinians in 1615, to build their new Roman seat and a training house for seminarians. A first construction period was led by Carlo Buzio and was completed at the end of 1635. A second part was carried out under Carlo Rainaldi, between 1671 and 1674. Between 1678 and 1690 the interior decoration and marble cladding was carried out.

Chiesa di Ognissanti

All Saints' Church was built between 1882 and 1887 on a former convent for the Anglican community. The famous English architect George Edmund Street (1824-1881) drew up plans to build a new church with an adjoining vicarage. George Edmund Street died in 1881 and his son Arthur Edmund Street took over the supervision of the project. The steeple, which was never completed at the time of construction, was added in 1937. The church is now also served by the Old Catholic community.

Chiesa di Santa Maria Portae Paradisi

The church of Santa Maria Portae Paradisi was already known in the 9th century as Santa Maria in Augusta, and was given the name Porta Paradisi because one of the gates in the walls of the Mausoleum of Augustus, called paradiseiois, opened nearby, or because the cemetery (closed in 1836 due to the cholera epidemic) of the Hospital of San Giacomo in Augusta, called Incurabili, was located next door. In the 16th century, the church was rebuilt by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, and took its present name.

Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli

The church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli is popularly known as one of the twin churches of Santa Maria in Montesanto (it is the one on the right), although the two structures differ mainly in their layout. This church is due to the reconstruction between 1675 and 1679 of an ancient medieval church affected by its proximity to the Tiber. In 1793 the church was assigned to the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament and in 1856 to the Arciconfraternita di San Gregorio Taumaturgo. Since 1915, the church has been officiated by the priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Betharram, who previously occupied the church of the Holy Guardian Angels of Triton, which has now disappeared.
