点评:One of the earliest churches dedicated to the Virgin in Rome. A minor basilica that was allegedly first built in the early 3rd century at the time of pope Callixtus I, whose remains are currently under the altar.
The basilica is located in the heart of the live Trastevere district with both tourists and locals, overlooking the square of the same name surrounded by palaces with an octagonal fountain, always with the name of the basilica in the center.
It was rebuilt and restored many times till it reached its current design in the 12th century and many of the mosaics, inside and on the facade, as well as the romanesque bell tower date back to that time. While the rich ceiling dates back to the 17th century.
The interior is characterized by 22 granite columns, originally brought from the ruins of Caracalla baths.
The most famous work here, along with the magnificent mosaics is the 8th century icon of Madonna della Clemenza.
翻译:罗马最早供奉圣母玛利亚的教堂之一。这是一座小圣 Basilica,据称建于3世纪初,即教皇卡利克斯特一世在位时期,他的遗骨目前安放在祭坛下方。
这座圣 Basilica坐落于热闹的特拉斯特维雷区的中心地带,游客与当地居民络绎不绝。它俯瞰着同名的广场,周围环绕着众多宫殿,广场中央有一座八角形喷泉,喷泉正中央刻有这座圣 Basilica的名称。这座建筑历经多次重建与修复,直到12世纪才形成如今的模样。内部及外墙上的许多马赛克图案,还有罗马式的钟楼,都是那个时期的产物;而精美的天花板则可追溯到17世纪。
教堂内部有22根花岗岩柱,它们最初是从卡拉卡拉浴场的废墟中运来的。
在这里最著名的艺术品,除了那些壮观的马赛克外,便是创作于8世纪的《慈悲圣母像》。
