Basilica di Sant’Andrea delle Fratte

Nestled between Piazza di Spagna and the Trevi Fountain in Rome’s historic center, the Basilica di Sant’Andrea delle Fratte holds a unique place in the city’s religious history. According to legend, a French-Jewish lawyer experienced a vision of Mary here, leading to his conversion to Catholicism. The basilica is adorned with notable artworks, including two elegant angels sculpted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Visitors can also explore the Putridarium, a crypt once used for the decomposition of bodies, which remains the only one of its kind in Rome.
