Santa Maria in Posterula, Medieval church in Ponte district, Rome, Italy

The church of Santa Maria in Posterula stood on Strada dell'Orso, featuring a bell tower with two bells and multiple altars for worship.

The church appears in papal records from the 9th century and remained active until its demolition in 1895 for the construction of Ponte Umberto I.

The religious institution housed a revered image of Our Lady of Grace, which received a ceremonial crown at Saint Peter's Basilica in 1653.

The parish managed 80 houses and 171 families, generating an annual revenue of 795 scudi during the mid-17th century period.

Irish Augustinians received control of the church in 1819, bringing an icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help from their previous location.
