We have never met someone who visited Italy without stepping inside at least one church to marvel at the art and architecture on display. Churches in Italy are among the world’s most impressive buildings. Their interiors and exteriors embody the history of Italy and remain some of the most jaw-dropping monuments in the country.

Though there are thousands of Cathedrals, churches, and chapels in Rome alone, let alone all of Italy, some stand out above the rest based on their size, their art, the elegance of their design or their ability to awe and inspire those who step through their doors.
