Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano

From the exit of the Roman Forum you see Piazza Venezia, opposite Piazza Venezia, there are 2 churches that are particularly visible, one on a map found to be the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Saint Redo and the other the Cathedral of Notre Dame, built to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Vienna

The Church of the Virgin Mary is located in the Piazza Trajan, built from white marble and standing in front of the pillar of Trajan's Record, just a few dozen steps from the similar dome of Santa Maria Loreto. In 1683, in the battle of Vienna, the Austrian-Polish army under the command of John III Sobishki triumphed over the Turks, and in celebration of victory, Pope Innocent XI began the Holy Mother of Mary, and soon afterwards the Holy Church of the name of Saint Mary was founded. In 1741, the Holy Mother's Hall of Fame was built, and Maria's idol was placed in the new church.

The Hall of Fame of Our Lady is built in the square of the Trian Forum in the late Baroque period to celebrate the victory of the war and the liberation of Vienna. Carved on the railings are statues of evangelical missionaries and prophets, with domes on top, tracks divided into eight space windows, decorated with colored marble interiors.

Erected in 113 to immortalize the very successful Emperor Trajan. The carvings, all 600 feet long wind up the 125 foot hollow column, tell the story of the conquest and capture of the gold rich Romanian based Dacian people. On top is a statue of St Peter ( added in 1588 after the gold covered one of Trajan was lost). Hard to get up to closely with traffic bustling around it. Originally the column stood between two tall libraries (one Greek, one Latin) so you could see the engravings from their upper stories. Now, go to the Museum of Roman history, or to London's Victoria and Albert Museum to study the plaster replicas up close.

One of a few memorable Roman columns, Trajan's towering monument is as impressive as his wartime victories. It's hard to miss when you're walking along the Via dei Fori Imperiali as it's located between Piazza Venezia and the Foro Romano.

This incredible column is inscribed with a spiralling bas-relief which recounts the story of the Emperor Trajan's Dacian wars. Funnily, a statue of St. Peter was plunked atop it in the 16th Century. What I really enjoy about this column is its absolute giant grandeur, as well as the knowledge that you could actually climb up all the way inside it, were you to find the right person to let you in.

Trajan's Column is not just a monument towering over the streets around the Piazza Venezia, it's also a historic source. Trajan's exploits--his victories in the Dacian Wars and his conquests in Mesopotamia--are told in the reliefs along the column. Much of what is known about the Emperor Trajan comes from this work of art and architecture. Trajan's Column also represents the Roman Empire at its greatest extent geographically and at the apex of its power.

very close to the apartment, it is impressive
