We went here after our visit to the Rose Gardens and what a find. This was worth the uphill climb.it was simply beautiful inside ...certainly more than what we expected from the outside.

Best thing is, it's in a lovely... More

This church was described by Lonely Planet as "exquisitely glittering". True. The 12th Century mosaics are breathtaking. Well worth a trip to Trastevere
