The 24 Best Things to Do in Rome in 2025

"I loved the surprising Gothic presence of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, built atop a temple to Minerva; inside admire the starry ceiling and Michelangelo’s sculpture of Christ holding the cross, plus Fra Angelico’s Madonna and Child, while outside in the piazza you’ll find Bernini’s whimsical elephant-obelisk sculpture." - Matthew Kepnes
