Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A marvellous Church, precisely what Churches should be. Managed to pray the Rosary before Mass in Extraordinary Form. Loved seeing the Priests of the Fraternity of St Peter offer their private masses early in the morning before the 7:15 AM mass. As a Confraternity of St Peter member it was beautiful to see my prayers are being answered and to see the priests I pray for every day. Loved it so much. I will definitely return for mass the next time I’m in the Eternal City.

We came across this large 16th century church as we walked from Ponte Sisto into the city centre.
One thing Rome is not short of is churches but this one caught our eye. What you se here is a large, and ornately decorated structure with a curved, concave facade.
Above the over-sized entrance is a winged cherub head, and above that, an inscription runs across the entire width of the church.
Pairs of monumental Corinthian columns run the full height of the church and larger-than-life statues of the evangelists stand in arched niches. We’d been used to seeing empty niches on so many churches that it was nice to see these statues still in their rightful place.
Inside, it has a beautiful painted dome which floods the main space with light.
Although the church dates back to the 16th century, most of what we saw inside is from a mid-19th century restoration.
At first there seems to be a lavish use of rich materials and marble, but all is not as it seems. Instead they used a clever trick (scagliola), where powdered marble was mixed with plaster, glue and other pigments creating a much cheaper composite. By the time it was polished up, it looked very much like real marble but at a fraction of the cost. Clever!
Each of the side chapels is highly decorated but the second chapel on the right, is dedicated to St Philip Neri. It was Philip Neri’s efforts and his charity to the sick, the poor, and to pilgrims that attracted the attention of Pope Paul IV in 1558. In acknowledgement of his work, the Pope donated the church to the saint and his followers. Philip Neri and his followers ran a hospice from here, accommodating up to 500 people and and feeding almost a thousand. There is a portrait of the saint on the left pillar of his chapel, which was painted during his lifetime by one of his followers.

This church is run by the FSSP. They offer exclusively the Latin mass. A beautiful church. If you want to attend the Latin mass in Roma, this is the place.

As I was walking by this church, I had to grab a photo. The environmental damage is very noticeable. You can see how brown carbon (ash, carbon dioxide, and/or methane) has discolored, to brown, the original white travertine marble. Eventually, the marble will start to flake away and continue to erode. Air Pollution can really cause damage. If you don’t believe in being environmentally friendly, see what air pollution has done to this church in Rome, Italy.

Very close to the Campo di Fiore is the Chiesa della Trinita' dei Pellegrini where Mass is still said in Latin. It was one of the most ancient Roman churches dedicated to the leader of European monasticism. It was given to the Confraternity of Pilgrims by Paul IV in 1558. It was reconstructed and crowned with the dome in 1603-1616 by Giovanni Paolo Maggi. The façade was designed by Francesco De Sanctis 1723. The main altar has four columns of African black marble, and was built in 1616 by designs of Domenico Pozzi. The altarpiece depicts the Trinity (1625), a masterwork by Guido Reni.

A great blessing to be able to attend wonderful, peaceful Masses in the traditional Roman rite. We also had the good fortune to have the opportunity to attend a High Mass for the Annunciation of the Lord.

I stumbled upon this church on the way to Palazzo Spada and took a quick look attracted by its harmonious, a bit grim facade. The altar painted by Guido Reni is one of the treasures in this Baroque church, so definitely worth stopping for 10-15 minutes.

Being the city of churches the visitor is spoilt for choice, the ornate facade of this one tempted us in. The interior is beautiful, vaulted ceilings good use of light and plenty of marble. what more could you expect from a Catolic church.

We had just been to the wonderful Trastevere district and after having just walked over the beautiful stone bridge Ponte Sisto we were exploring the maze of streets across the river in this part of town when we chanced on this beautiful old church.
A beautiful brown brick exterior with superb looking columns and a nice big doorway which leads you into an amazing and beautiful interior with a fantadtic looking high alter and superb detaiks abd frescoes ,it really is just one fantastic looking church.
Chiesa Della Santissima Trinita Dei Pellegrini is really easy to locate, from Ponte Sisto bridge walk straight down Via Dei Pettinari were you will easily spot this church.
Well worth checking out.

This church is nearby more famous attractions and we almost overlooked it. It is a very special place as the mess is still held in Latin. Also the artwork is notable.
One interesting point regarding the lighting: in September around 1400 the sun cast a ray of light that looks like a painting (see picture) this also offers the opportunity for the ultimate enlightenment picture for the brave tourist who dare to knee on the last bench on the right.
