Santa Maria in Campitelli, Baroque church in Sant'Angelo district, Rome, Italy

The Santa Maria in Campitelli features a two-story travertine facade with strong vertical lines created by large Corinthian and composite columns.

Pope Alexander VII commissioned this church in 1656 after prayers to the Virgin Mary allegedly stopped a devastating plague in Rome.

The main altar displays an 11th-century silver-gilt icon within a frame of angels and light rays, similar to Saint Peter's Basilica design.

The church opens daily for visitors and worshippers at Piazza di Campitelli 9, near multiple public transportation connections in central Rome.

The interior contains remnants of the Temple of Apollo Sosianus and includes chapels with artworks by Sebastiano Conca and Luca Giordano.
