There is some debate about whether it is the first church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome, but there is no doubt about its rich history dating back to the 3rd century.

With its stunning gold mosaics, intricate coffered ceiling, and the beautiful 13th-century mosaics of Pietro Cavallini, the church itself is a testament to Roman artistry and devotion. Here you can also enjoy some free concerts throughout the year, especially during religious festivals and the holiday season, the church hosts various musical events:"
