Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Basilica of Our Lady of Angels and Martyrs is a Catholic secondary sanctuary and a priest-level cardinal church, built in the cold water bath of the former Diocletian baths. The entrance of the church is built on the ruins of the bath, which looks very simple, but the interior space is actually very impressive. The holy water bowl at the entrance adopts the shape of an angel, which fully reflects that this church is not simple. The main body of the church is a typical basilica structure, 90.8 meters long, 27 meters wide and 28 meters high, a huge cuboid space. In addition to the main altar in the middle, there are chapels on the two wings. During the period of the Kingdom of Italy (1870-1946), it became the official state church, including the later state funerals. A small door in the church leads to the Galileo Memorial Courtyard. On April 28, 2010, the Chinese Academy of Sciences donated a 6-meter-high bronze statue of Galileo designed by Li Zhengdao. At the entrance of the church are two gates designed by the Polish sculptor Igor Mitoraj. The left one shows Jesus and some martyrs deeply embedded in the body by the cross, as if they were about to break free from the bronze. The one on the right shows the Annunciation, with Mary humbly facing the angel.

a huge cathedral in the central part of Rome. well maintained too and accessible to people especially tourists. I found the monument of the beheaded John the Baptist inside.
The first thing I saw from Rome Station was this place. The building had a sense of baptism and was shabby, and there were gypsies sitting on the door. The hall is relatively simple and feels the same as the appearance.
I know that this is a cold bathing place, because several emperors in ancient Rome were keen to build public bathing places, very magnificent. I remember that Mr. Ma Weidu also personally experienced the dream experience of early years when he went to Rome to travel.
Take the subway line A Repubblica station can be reached. This is the church that looks the least like a church, the arched and concave gate, if it weren't for a cross on it and the words BASILICA can't be seen at all. Originally the Bathing House of Diocletian in ancient Rome, it was converted from Michelangelo into a church. Now the part used is just one of its bathrooms... The floor inside the hall is studded with a twelve-constellation map and the original meridian in Rome. Although the appearance is a bit unsavory, the inside is still worth seeing.
The Basilica of the Angel and Martyr is next to the train station and the Republic Square, a Catholic secondary temple in Rome, which is not famous, but you will never feel white when you visit it. It was converted from the bathing place of the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Michelangelo was ordered to use the remnants of the bath to build the palace, but he died before it was completed. The entrance to the church was built on the ruined wall of the bath, which seemed simple, but the interior space was actually very considerable. The angelic shape of the otter at the entrance fully reflects the church's not simple. It was once the official national church, including later state funerals. The church has a Galileo Memorial Courtyard, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences donated a bronze statue of Galileo up to 6 meters, designed by Li Zhengdao.
On the square of the Republic, next to the Diocletian Bath Museum. The Basilica of the Angels and Martyrs (St. Mary's Church of the Angels) is a Catholic secondary temple in Rome, Italy, built in the cold water bath of the former Diocletian Bath. In 1561, the pope commissioned Michelangelo to remodel the bathroom as a rectangular gallery-style church.
It is in the United Nations World Heritage List. The magnificent church gives a very shocking feeling. It is a bathroom converted and designed like the Pantheon of the Christian classic church. With a traditional depression, solemnity, and ethereal feeling, it is worth visiting and experiencing.
