St. Maria della Vittoria is an easy church to miss in Rome, but you have to ensure you see it while you are there. It's off a side street near a busy Piazza but the Bernini sculptures inside are magnificent! A very beautiful church, quiet and no crowds make it an enjoyable experience. If you find yourself in Piazza Repubblica, head northwest ...

My husband and I have visited Rome twice and I always drag him to the Santa Maria della Vittoria to view Bernini's masterpiece, The Ectasy of Saint Teresa...it is absolutely beautiful and I could stare at it for hours. Don't miss it!
