On the occasion of the Jubilee 2025, Preply’s team of cultural learning experts carried out a study to identify Italy’s most beautiful churches, based on the opinions of visitors of 200 churches throughout Italy. The result is a selection of the 30 most fascinating churches, which are not only striking for their beauty, but also for leaving a profound imprint in visitors’ cultural and spiritual sphere.

Especially during the Christmas period, these splendid churches offered a unique framework to live the most significant moments of the celebrations, be it a Solemn Midnight Mass, a representation of the Nativity or the New Year’s Eve service. According to Istat, one out of every five Italians attends the Christmas Mass, which converts these churches during the celebrations not only into places of contemplation, but also of communion and coexistence. Hence, they are very recommended for those wishing to live fully the Christmas spirit.
