Santa Maria dell'Orto

Santa Maria dell'Orto displays a symmetrical facade with detailed stonework, crowned by statues and adorned with ornate decorative elements spanning two levels.

The church emerged from a small chapel in 1567, designed by architect Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola during the height of Renaissance architectural innovation in Rome.

Multiple trade associations of Rome contributed funds for the construction and decoration, resulting in a collection of artworks representing different merchant guilds.

The church opens Monday afternoons, Tuesday through Friday from morning until evening, and Saturday mornings, with specific closures during August and holidays.

Since 2008, this Renaissance building functions as the central place of worship for the Japanese Catholic population residing in Rome.
