Visita a la Basílica de Santa Maria Maggiore
Descripción
Aunque ampliada y redecorada, la basílica conserva gran parte de su estructura original del siglo V. En los años posteriores al regreso del papado a Roma desde Aviñón, parte de la iglesia se utilizó como residencia papal hasta la renovación completa del palacio del Vaticano. Admire sus mosaicos del siglo V, un relicario que se dice que contiene una pieza de la cuna que alguna vez tuvo al niño Jesús, un antiguo icono de la Virgen María, la tumba de San Jerónimo y la tumba del artista Gian Lorenzo Bernini. También está la Capilla Sixtina en la Basílica Papal de Santa Maria Maggiore, dedicada al Papa Sixto V.

Itinerario
La Basílica de Santa María la Mayor es una basílica mayor papal y la iglesia católica mariana más grande de Roma, de cuyo tamaño recibe la denominación "mayor". Entre las basílicas patriarcales de Roma, St. Mary Major es la única que ha mantenido su estructura original, aunque se ha mejorado a lo largo de los años. La basílica consagra la venerada imagen de Salus Populi Romani, que representa a la Santísima Virgen María como la ayuda y protectora del pueblo romano, a quien el Papa Gregorio XVI le otorgó una coronación canónica el 15 de agosto de 1838 acompañado de su toro papal Cælestis Regina.

The church is a must see. From the Popes buried there, to the history on the walls, including the New and Old Testament s depicted in the paintings. Boromini is buried also at this church. Christianity has built this church over several centuries. Our guide said it was a church of the people, which is why some Popes have decided to be buried inside. This is one you really don't want to miss. The day we went in January was cold and rainy. Make sure you are dressed warmly, if the church is heated I could not tell. To me it was very cold. Pay attention to the side Chapel, one has cherub and Angels in black marble, not the usual white. According to our guide, she indicated this was done to enhance the gold decorations, of which this church has everywhere.
Thank you so much for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful Basilica.
For those who have faith... our Mother Major. Fantastic, beautiful basilica, with wonderful works. Worth every second... for Catholics eh possible to confess.
Thank you for your review!
The description was a 2 hour small group tour with hotel pickup. The guide left after 40 minutes. Hotel pickup was great and fortunately the car stayed till the guide showed up. It was extremely hot curtailing what could be discussed outdoors.
Very nice building; I wish we had this sort of building in Australia. Recommend visiting this place
Luisa was very sweet and patient explaining every step of our tour. A true gem this church and nice location to get a bite afterwards.
Splendorous monument and mother Church of Rome. A mandatory place to visit and enjoy all the art inside.
Wonderful experience. The ceiling is stunning. Everyone who comes to visit la Citta Eterna has to visit the church. The mosaics are exceptional. Also the rosette
Thanks a lot for your review, we are glad you enjoyed it.
On Piazza di Santa Maria, this very nice papal basilica has a lot of treasures ; it's a museum to visit with a guide or alone; the first crib, a scuptured work in white marble and representing the Virgin with the Child, San Joseph and the three Wise Men and also the donkey and ox; it's the first crib created by the artist named Arnolfo di Cambio from pape Nicolo V; (Hommage to San Nicolas today) visit also the archaelogical excavations, la sala di Papi and scala di Bernini.
We thoroughly enjoyed our guide on this tour! He was extremely knowledgeable about the basilica and his enthusiasm was infectious!
