ROMA - Basilica di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva
La basilica di Santa Maria sopra si trova in Piazza della Minerva, nelle immediate vicinanze del Pantheon e si tratta di uno dei pochissimi esempi di architettura gotica a Roma.
Nel centro di piazza della Minerva si trova la statua dell'elefantino, opera di Ercole Ferrata su progetto del Bernini, sormontato da un piccolo obelisco egiziano, uno dei nove presenti a Roma.
La basilica è molto conosciuta perché al suo interno ospita le spoglie di Caterina da Siena e del pittore mistico Beato Angelico.
Al suo interno conserva pregevoli opere d'arte tra cui gli affreschi di Melozzo da Forlì e Filippino Lippi.
Importante è anche la statua del Cristo portacroce, opera di Michelangelo.
Dietro la Sacrestia c'è la suggestiva Stanza di Santa Caterina, ricostruita nel 1637 con le mura stesse della camera ove morì .

Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome
Basilica, Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. This was not on our list to see in Rome. Santa Maria sopra Minerva is just behind or next to the great Pantheon. Yet glad we came across this Gothic style church, the only such styled church left in Rome today. It, like many Catholic churches, is built on old temples from pagan days. Read more below, but for sure this is a church to check out. The symbols and general condition of the building and interior is amazing. Also, yet another obelisk, one of the 11 in Rome!
“Santa Maria sopra Minerva in English - Saint Mary above Minerva, Latin- Sancta Maria supra Minervam- is one of the major churches of the Roman Catholic Order of Preachers -better known as the Dominicans - at Rome, Italy. The church's name derives from the fact that the first Christian church structure on the site was built directly over - Latin- supra - the ruins or foundations of a temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis, which had been erroneously ascribed to the Greco-Roman goddess Minerva.”

So they actually misnamed the church after Minerva, when it was really an old pagan site for Isis worshipers. Interesting.
More on the obelisk on an elephant of all things in front of the church, just a stones throw from the side of the amazing Pantheon, which we filmed here -
“The Pulcino della Minerva, the famous elephant sculpture by Bernini and Ercole Ferrata, making the base of one of Rome's eleven Egyptian obelisks.” Source -
Bernini was a master sculpture, the best of his time and came just after Michelangelo.

Santa Maria sopra Minerva is one of the major churches of the Roman Catholic Order of Preachers in Rome, Italy. The church's name derives from the fact that the first Christian church structure on the site was built directly over (Italian: sopra) the ruins or foundations of a temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis, which had been erroneously ascribed to the Greco-Roman goddess Minerva.
The church is located in Piazza della Minerva one block behind the Pantheon in the Pigna rione of Rome within the ancient district known as the Campus Martius. The present church and disposition of surrounding structures is visible in a detail from the Nolli Map of 1748.
While many other medieval churches in Rome have been given Baroque makeovers that cover Gothic structures, the Minerva is the only extant example of original Gothic church building in Rome. Behind a restrained Renaissance style façade the Gothic interior features arched vaulting that was painted blue with gilded stars and trimmed with brilliant red ribbing in a 19th-century Neo-Gothic restoration.
The church and adjoining convent served at various times throughout its history as the Dominican Order's headquarters. Today the headquarters have been re-established in their original location at the Roman convent of Santa Sabina. The titulus of Sanctae Mariae supra Minervam is now vacant with the death of Cormac Murphy-O'Connor who died on 1 September 2017.

The Temple of Minerva is an ancient Roman building in Assisi, Umbria, central Italy. It currently houses a church, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, built in 1539 and renovated in Baroque style in the 17th century. The temple was built in the 1st century BC by will of Gnaeus Caesius and Titus Caesius Priscus, who were two of the city's quattuorviri and also financed the construction.
The attribution to the goddess Minerva derives from the finding of a female statue, although a dedication stone to Hercules has been found, and the temple was likely dedicated to this male demi-god. In the Middle Ages the temple housed a tribunal with an annexed jail, as testified by one of Giotto's frescoes in the St. Francis Basilica, which portrays the church windows with bars.
Of the ancient temple, the façade has been preserved, with six Corinthian columns supporting the architrave and a small pediment. The columns were originally covered by a very strong plaster, which was perhaps colored.
The cell was completely demolished during the church's construction, in the 16th century, while a small section of the temple was found in the 20th century near the altar. The temple was visited and described by the German poet Goethe during his travels in Italy, as the first ancient structure in good condition seen during his life (1786).

Light Show Projected onto Basilica of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, Rome
The spectacle on various nights at the end of October 2018 drew plenty of opposition from a number of Catholic faithful who found it disturbing, sacrilegious and demonic. Others said it was impressive art; its creators said it transformed Rome's historic centre.
