Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano

The building rises 30 meters high with an elliptical interior layout and features seven small chapels arranged in a radial pattern.

French architect Antoine Derizet completed the construction of this religious structure in 1751, following a design that mirrors Santa Maria di Loreto.

The church interior contains medallions depicting stories from the life of Mary, along with statues of evangelists and prophets on the balustrade.

Visitors can find the church at Piazza della Madonna di Loreto, a five-minute walk from Colosseo metro station in central Rome.

During World War II, the church basement provided protection for Jewish individuals seeking refuge from Nazi persecution in Rome.
