Bramante's Tempietto

Tucked away on the Janiculum Hill is a lovely yet largely overlooked treasure.

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli

This popular basilica was built over the temple Juno Moneta (home of the early Roman mint, hence the English word "money").

Basilica of St Andrea della Valle

Church of Santa Maria in Domnica

One of the highest point of Celio (the XIXth rione of Rome) houses the church of St Mary in Domnica, also known as Church of Navicella (bark) because of the lovely fountain just in front of the portico, shaped as a Roman bark: early XX century copy of a sixteenth-century finding.

The charming church of San Francesco a Ripa is in the lively Trastevere quarter of Rome.

Church of St Maria in Monserrato

A beautiful church near Rome's Piazza Navona often gets passed by as tourists rush to the better-known sights, which is a shame as it has some lovely art and an interesting history.

One of Rome's highest churches is perched above the Spanish Steps and is, perhaps ironically, a French church.
