Santa Maria sopra Minerva

The Temple of Minerva was built in the 1st century BC by the Romans. When paganism lost favour in the 4th to 5th centuries the temple was abandoned and this church was built over it.



The six splendid Corinthian columns and the entire Roman façade are still intact after over 2,000 years.
