Church of St. Louis of the French

“"The Basilica of Saints Trifone and Agostino" is a Catholic place of worship located not far from Piazza Navona, in the Sant'Eustachio district, behind Via della Scrofa. The construction of the building dates back to the 14th century, when the Augustinians decided to build a new structure for their convent and to dedicate it to Sant'Agostino. The new construction was too small for the needs of the convent community and moreover, being placed too low with respect to the course of the Tiber river, it was also subject to its floods. Thus, thanks to the munificence of Cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville, the current basilica was built perpendicularly to the old one. The church has been a parish since its foundation; in fact, the titles and care of souls of the parish of San Trifone in Posterula were transferred to it. It is also the seat of the cardinal title of Sant'Agostino. In October 1999, Pope John Paul II elevated it to the dignity of a minor basilica.”

“In Piazza del Popolo a wonderful Basilica with a painting of Caravaggio and works by Bernini and Raffaello.”

“You cannot leave Rome without taking the Baroque's route, sightseeing the most important Bernini and Borromini's works of art. These architects shaped what in the 17th century was the fanciest and classiest city in the world. What you cannot miss: - Piazza Navona with Sant'Agnese in Agone facade and the Fountain of the Four Rivers - Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza and his unique, super elegant dome (one of my favorite in Rome) - Via XX Settembre and its churches - Ponte Sant'Angelo and its statues - The world famous Galleria Prospettica and its illusionism, in Palazzo Spada - The Spada Chapel in the San Girolamo della Carità Church (might not be Borromini, but still the Baroque's genius at its finest!) - The Oratorio dei Filippini and Santa Maria in Vallicella - The Propaganda Fide Palace and Sant'Andrea delle Fratte”

“You can enjoy this green spot on Aventino and its view every moment of the day, though I've always had a soft spot for walking through Rome early and reach this place in the morning. Try. It's a timeless place. ”

“Se vi trovate nei pressi di Piazza Navona, dopo aver visitato la Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi, a pochi metri di distanza, in piazza sant'Agostino, anche la Biblioteca Angelica merita una visita. Questa biblioteca risalente al Seicento, oggi sede dell'Accademia letteraria dell'Arcadia, ospita una collezione di libri molto antichi e la sua sala principale è molto suggestiva: entrate e chiedete al personale di poter dare uno sguardo. Rimarrete impressionati!”
