Church of Santa Maria in Via

The church of Santi Claudio e Andrea dei Borgognoni dates from the 17th century. The church was bequeathed to the Burgundians, who emigrated en masse to Rome at the beginning of the 17th century and established a confraternity here in 1652 near Piazza San Silvestro. The church was completely destroyed in 1726 and rebuilt to the plans of Antoine Derizet from June 1728, completed in 1730 and consecrated the following year. From 1866 onwards, it was granted to the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament.

The church of San Silvestro in Capite was founded in the 8th century with the adjoining Basilian monastery. In the 12th century, Pope Innocent II transferred the relic of the head of St. John the Baptist to it and the name was changed to St. John in Capitol. Between 1198 and 1216, the church was remodelled and the Romanesque bell tower was built. The monastery building was remodelled in 1588-1591 and the church in 1593-1601. The interior decoration was completed in 1696 and Domenico de' Rossi completed the façade in 1703.

The church of Santa Maria dell'Umiltà was built in the first half of the 17th century and was commissioned by the daughter of Catherine de Medici, Francesca Baglioni, widow of Francesco Orsini. In 1703 the façade was rebuilt by Carlo Fontana. It was then rebuilt in 1859 by Andrea Busiri Vici, the main architect of the Vatican. After the unification of Italy, the church and convent were entrusted to the Congregation Propaganda Fide, which transformed the convent into a boarding school for theology students from North America. Today it is still the seat of the Pontifical North American College.
