Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva is one of the most spiritual and awe-inspiring churches in Rome. While the exterior may appear modest, stepping inside reveals a stunningly beautiful and sacred space. It’s also one of the very few Gothic-style churches in Rome, which makes it architecturally unique. The high vaulted ceilings painted in deep blue, the stained glass windows, and the intricate interior decorations create a breathtaking atmosphere. One of the highlights is Michelangelo’s famous statue of the “Risen Christ,” which stands near the altar. The basilica also houses the tomb of Saint Catherine of Siena, making it a major pilgrimage site for Catholics. The church dates back to the 13th century and gets its name from the ancient Temple of Minerva that once stood on the same site. Outside the entrance, the charming elephant statue carrying an obelisk sculpted by Bernini adds a unique Roman character and is a beloved photo spot. If you’re looking to step away from the crowds and immerse yourself in history, art, and spirituality, Santa Maria sopra Minerva is a must visit. It offers a moment of peace and a deep sense of connection in the heart of Rome.
