Santa Maria in Traspontina
Santa Maria in Traspontina, Renaissance church on Via della Conciliazione, Rome, Italy.
Santa Maria in Traspontina is a Renaissance church located on Via della Conciliazione in Rome. The structure displays a travertine block facade with a bell tower by Francesco Peparelli and a main altar crafted by Carlo Fontana in 1674.
The original church was demolished during Pope Paul IV's reign to make space for artillery practice at Castel Sant'Angelo. A new structure was built in 1566 to replace the earlier building on this strategic location.
The church serves as the national sanctuary for Danish Catholics, creating a unique blend of Italian and Scandinavian faith traditions within its walls. Visitors can sense this cultural connection through the way the space is used and decorated for its community.
The church welcomes visitors during regular opening hours and offers guided tours explaining its architectural design and artworks. Check the schedule before arriving as hours may change for religious celebrations or special events.
The building features an unusual dome that sits directly on its base without the typical supporting drum structure found in churches of this period. This architectural choice sets it apart from other Renaissance churches in Rome.
