Spectacular Church To See In Italy - Santa Barbara dei Librai, Rome

Santa Barbara dei Librai, Rome
Santa Barbara dei Librai, Rome

Set into a tiny corner of a piazza near Campo dei Fiori - houses are literally built right up to it -  this tiny church was built in the 11th century atop the ruins of the Theater of Pompey. Incidentally, this was also the site at which Julius Caesar was assassinated! Packed with artwork and boasting an ornate floor, it’s so tiny that only one of the windows you see from the outside is real; the other has been painted on.
