What travelers are saying

The Church of the Twelve Apostles in Rome was built in the 6th Century and was originally dedicated to the Saints Philip and James.

Dedicated to the Apostles Philip and James, the basilica was completed in 570 AD at the time of Pope John III.

If you are not a Christian, visit in the spirit of good people trying to do their best to help the poor, to see the resting place of two men who also tried their best, in good faith, two thousand years ago.

One of the most beautiful churches in Rome. Not far from the Trevi Fountain, it is hidden and not very known. Certainly it is not one of the most famous Roman basilicas. Still one of the most breathtaking and impressive with a spectacular architecture. If...More

Church of the Twelve Apostles - 6th-century Roman Catholic Church

The Church of the Twelve Apostles is a lesser basilica of Rome. Nonetheless, the church has great historical significance. The reason is that it was founded by Pope Pelagius I (556-561). This is known because of a surviving inscription over the entrance door, which reads:...More

Major restoration work impairs your visit

You can tell that this would be a really fine church, if you could see more of it. Huge amounts of scaffolding obscures, no outright blocks a large part of this church. It's very nice what you can see, but my recommendation is to hold...More

Must see for Christians. Two apostles are buried here.

The primary reason to visit the Church of the Apostles is to descend a few steps down into the Crypt under the alter and to see the tomb of St. James and St. Philip, two of the apostles who accompanied Jesus. Reviewers who write that...More

Trevi

A non-stop photo and souvenir opportunity, Trevi is
all about action. From early morning through the wee
hours, the piazza surrounding Trevi Fountain hosts a
never-ending flow of tourists hoping to make a wish or
take a selfie. Clever restaurants, charming

are the remains of an ancient neighborhood that you
