2Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
The Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore is the largest church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome and one of the city's four papal basilicas. According to tradition, it was built on the site where Pope Liberius dreamed of the Virgin Mary, who instructed him to construct a church in her honor. The story goes that on August 5th, in the sweltering summer heat, a miraculous snowfall marked the location for the basilica, leading to the annual celebration where white flower petals are dropped from the ceiling to commemorate this event. The basilica's stunning architecture and rich history make it a must-visit landmark for those exploring Rome.
