San Giacomo alla Lungara, Romanesque church in Trastevere, Rome, Italy

San Giacomo alla Lungara features thick walls and rounded arches, displaying the characteristic elements of Romanesque architecture along Via della Lungara.

The church dates back to the 9th century during Pope Leo IV's reign, with documented existence confirmed through papal bulls from 1198 and 1228.

The interior houses artistic treasures including Giovanni Francesco Romanelli's painting of James the Apostle and Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Memorial to Ippolito Merenda.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore its single-nave interior and examine the 12th-century Romanesque bell tower.

The bell tower stands as the sole remaining medieval element following extensive renovations that transformed the original three-nave layout into a single-nave structure.
