Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri

Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri stands on the remains of the monumental Baths of Diocletian, an imposing construction that flaunted the grandeur of the Roman Empire. The project to transform the complex into a church is due to Michelangelo, who limited himself to a "conservative" restoration and is the only Renaissance church in Rome. On the floor you can admire the meridian line drawn by Francesco Bianchini in 1703, which indicates midday and the arrival of the solstice and equinox, as well as functioning as a calendar. The church has a monumental organ with 5,400 pipes, capable of leaving visitors speechless who are lucky enough to listen to its melodies inside the immense temple.
