A beautiful church with extraordinary artwork by Caravaggio. The tomb of St Monica is within the church and it was wonderful to be there for Mass and prayers at her shrine.

It is very close to Piazza Navona. As an Augustinian - it’s a must see! The origin of the Order of St. Augustine (O.S.A) started here. The tomb of St. Monica is in the chapel. Caravaggio’s painting - Mary, Mother of Pilgrims, is in display, left side in the rear of the church, when you enter. It’s free to enter, check schedule in advance. Open morning, close around lunch, open again in the afternoon. Please give a small donation. Part of the church is being renovated.

Absolutely beautiful church that holds the relics of the phenomenal St. Monica in a beautiful side chapel. Well worth stopping in for a prayer and joining your tears to St. Monica’s in praying for all those lost from the Church. An English-speaking nun was also there to open the doors and was very helpful. I asked if she could get a priest to hear a confession in English and she went way out of her way to make it happen.

This basilica is absolutely stunning, it houses some amazing works of art by some of the greatest renaissance painters. The architecture in the building is incredible, its atmosphere is very calming. I really enjoy spending time here and have been several times. I would definitely recommend going to visit this amazing church and seeing its beautiful structure and wonderful works of art.

Beautiful church with functioning services. There are beautiful artworks, paintings, intricate sculptures, and a very impressive altar and stained glass. Caravaggio's masterpiece, the Madonna di Loreto, is visible inside to the left. Insert €1 in the coin box on the wall to light it up. Raphael's paintings are on the columns in the nave. Free to enter, just walk in. Be respectful and quiet, especially if a service is in progress. You can donate to the church in donation boxes at the entrance or at any of the amazing artworks on display.

I came here for Caravaggio's painting "Madonna of the Pilgrims"; this is one of the few places in Rome where you can see this artist's paintings for free (It also houses Raphael's fresco "The Prophet Isaiah”). However, Basilica itself is simply beautiful, even though it is currently undergoing restoration work. It is one of the first Renaissance churches in the city.

This is a very nice church to visit if you like to view important art while seeing important historic churches. There are fine works by Bernini, Rapheal and an important Caravaggio masterpiece to be viewed at Basilica di Sant' Agostino.
