Santa Maria di Loreto
Santa Maria di Loreto, Renaissance church near Trajan's Forum, Rome, Italy
Santa Maria di Loreto features a square base structure transitioning into an octagonal drum, topped by a ribbed dome with rounded openings.
Construction of the church began in 1507 under architect Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, commissioned by the Congregation of Bakers of Rome.
The interior houses five altars, including a 16th-century venerated icon of Our Lady of Loreto framed by marble clouds and rays.
The church stands adjacent to Trajan's Column and opens daily for visitors to explore its Renaissance architecture and religious artworks.
The church's lantern, added in 1573 by Jacopo del Duca, introduces Mannerist elements and earned the nickname 'Cricket Cage' among locals.
