Santa Maria in Domnica
10 Piazza Navicella, Rome, ItalyTel: +39 067001519
The church of Santa Maria in Domnica is also known as the church of the Navicella because of the representation of a Roman boat in a fountain that stands in front of it. The church stands at the crossroads of four large roads in the highest and most central area of the Celio. Here lie the remains of the imperial city. The origins of the church date to the 7th century. The Renaissance-style facade has a wide portico with five arches designed by Andrea Sansovino. The interior is divided into three naves with 18 grey granite columns topped by Corinthian capitals. Note the mosaics at the end of the nave, and the Roman sarcophaguses along the sides. Also noteworthy is the panelled ceiling that has recently been restored. It is adorned with Renaissance frescoes by Perin del Vaga.
