Rome Baroque Art and Architecture Tour 3 hr

See Rome’s Baroque churches through the beliefs that shaped them on this three-hour walk with an expert Catholic guide. Rather than focusing only on artistic style, the tour connects sacred images, relics, light, and theatrical spaces to the Catholic faith and the period of renewal during and after the Reformation.

Starting near Piazza Navona, visit Sant’Agostino and San Luigi to see St. Monica’s tomb and works by Caravaggio. At Sant’Ignazio, discover Jesuit saints’ shrines and look up at Pozzo’s painted heaven. Continue along the route via Trevi Fountain, encountering Bernini’s Passion angels and his Ecstasy of St. Teresa, before reaching Santa Maria della Vittoria. Along the way, your guide explains how theology informed the art and architecture around you.

This three-hour walking tour offers a thoughtful way to understand Rome’s sacred landmarks from the perspective of the artists and their faith. Meet outside the Brazilian Embassy in Piazza Navona, wear comfortable shoes, and remember to cover your shoulders and knees when entering churches.
