The Basilica di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere is a Roman Catholic Basilica located in Rome’s famed Trastevere neighborhood. This unique church was founded in the early 3rd century AD and is dedicated to the martyred Saint Cecilia, whose heroic story is renowned. Throughout history, restorations have taken place and artifacts have been added, from 9th-century mosaics to late-Renaissance sculptures. Today, visitors can explore the basilica and take in its Baroque façade, ancient courtyard filled with mosaics, stories of Jacob and Last Judgment frescoes by Pietro Cavallini, ciborium attributed to Arnolfo di Cambio, two altarpieces by Guido Reni, and a stunning marble sculpture by Stefano Maderno, just to name a few. No matter if you’re looking for a fun adventure or a breathtaking cultural appreciation experience, the Basilica di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere is sure to awe and inspire!
