The present Basilica of San Clemente was built in the 12th century as part of a Dominican convent. An old basilica existed there but it is assumed that its state must have been ruinous at the time of its demolition. Numerous subsequent interventions modified its internal and external appearance; the present appearance was finally defined during an important restoration carried out between 1713 and 1719, commissioned by Pope Clemente XI and carried out by the architect Carlo Stefano Fontana.

The Basilica of San Crisogono dates back to the 4th century, making it one of the oldest churches in Rome. The building has undergone a series of renovations over the centuries, including reconstruction in the 12th century and again in 1626, based on a project by Giovanni Battista Soria. The basilica was for centuries the national church of the Sardinians and Corsicans living in Rome: several Corsicans are already buried in the service of the Pope in the Corsican papal guard.

The Basilica of San Domenico, founded in the thirteenth century, is the main seat of the Dominicans and the burial place of the founder of the order: St. Dominic (1170-1221). The church is known for its interior paintings.

The Basilica of San Domenico was built in the 13th century and enlarged in the following century. The Gothic building houses the relic of the head of Saint Catherine of Siena in a splendid Renaissance chapel built for the occasion.

The Basilica of San Fedele was erected from 1120 on top of an early Christian church dating from the 7th century. The exterior of the church was restored to its Romanesque style in 1905 (bell tower) and 1914 (façade). The interior contains a splendid Lombard Romanesque choir, resembling the Aachen Palatine Chapel, with sculptural decorations.

The Basilica of San Giorgio fuori le mura, annexed to the Monastery of San Giorgio degli Olivetani, is the oldest Catholic place of worship in the city of Ferrara, dating back to 1135. The history of the basilica is closely linked to the origins of Ferrara. Between the 7th and 8th centuries, due to the continuous barbarian invasions that devastated Voghenza, the seat of the bishop was moved from Voghenza to what was to become Ferrara. The church was completely rebuilt in the 15th century by Biagio Rossetti, remodelled from 1581 on a design by Alberto Schiatti, and then modified in the 17th and 18th centuries with the erection of the new façade by Andrea Ferreri.

San Giorgio Maggiore is a Venetian abbey basilica whose construction was begun in 1566 by the architect Andrea Palladio and completed in 1610 by Simone Sorella. The present bell tower (63 m high) was designed by the architect Benedetto Buratti and dates from 1791. The one built in 1467 collapsed in 1774. An abbey church has existed on this site since the 8th century.

The Basilica of San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini was begun in the 16th century and completed in the 18th century. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, started the construction in 1519, the actual construction of the church was carried out with the participation of Giacomo Della Porta who set up a church with a basilica plan with three naves on arched pillars and five chapels on each side. It was only thanks to Carlo Maderno that Giacomo Della Porta's project was realised, reducing the apse and transepts to three flat walls with large windows and building the slender dome in brick and stucco in 1634. The church was not completed until 1738 by Alessandro Galilei, who died a year before the completion of the façade.

The Basilica of San Michele Maggiore dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries and is one of the most beautiful churches in the Lombard Romanesque style. A previous building having been destroyed by fire in 1004, the construction of the present basilica began towards the end of the 11th century and was certainly completed in 1155, with an interruption due to the great earthquake of 1117. San Michele stands out from the other churches in the city for its intensive use, both for its structure and for its decorations, of fragile ochre-coloured sandstone instead of terracotta. The façade is decorated with a rich repertoire of beautiful sandstone sculptures.

The Basilica of San Miguel, built between 1739 and 1745 by the architect Santiago Bonavía, is one of the most beautiful Spanish Baroque churches in the city. The church of Saints Justo and Pastor was there before, dating from before the 13th century, but damaged by a fire in 1690, it was finally destroyed.
