Basilica of Saint Augustine in Campo Marzio
Basilica of Saint Augustine in Campo Marzio, Renaissance basilica in Sant'Eustachio, Italy
The church features a Latin cross plan with three naves, ten side chapels, and a travertine facade taken from the Colosseum blocks.
Cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville commissioned the reconstruction of the basilica between 1479 and 1483 to replace a smaller church affected by Tiber floods.
The basilica contains Caravaggio's Madonna of the Pilgrims, Raphael's Prophet Isaiah fresco, and Sansovino's Madonna del Parto marble sculpture.
The basilica opens daily for religious services and art viewing, with entrance through Via della Scrofa 80 in central Rome.
The third left pillar served as a poetry wall where Roman writers attached their verses on Saint Anne's feast day.

Rome contains over 900 churches that demonstrate two thousand years of sacred architecture, from Roman antiquity to the Baroque period. These buildings reveal the evolution of construction techniques and artistic expressions over the centuries. St. Peter's Basilica covers 20,000 square meters and features a dome designed by Michelangelo. The Pantheon retains its Roman dome with a 43-meter (141 feet) diameter, the largest ever constructed in unreinforced concrete. Major basilicas such as Santa Maria Maggiore showcase Byzantine mosaics from the 5th century beneath a Renaissance ceiling with gilded coffers. Saint Clement's Basilica in the Lateran overlays three levels of construction from the 1st to the 12th centuries, illustrating Rome's urban stratification. Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the city's oldest churches, presents medieval gilded mosaics, while Saint Peter's in Chains houses Michelangelo's Moses. These monuments help understand how Rome shaped European religious architecture for over fifteen centuries.
