The Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem (Latin: Basilica Sanctae Crucis in Hierusalem, Italian: Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and titular church in rione Esquilino, Rome, Italy. It is one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome. According to tradition, the Basilica was consecrated circa 325 to house the relics of the Passion of Jesus Christ brought to Rome from the Holy Land by St. Empress Helena, mother of Roman Emperor Constantine I. At that time, the Basilica's floor was covered with soil from Jerusalem, thus acquiring the title in Hierusalem; it is not dedicated to the Holy Cross which is in Jerusalem, but the Basilica itself is "in Jerusalem" in the sense that a "piece" of Jerusalem was moved to Rome for its foundation. *During celebrations, visits to the Chapel of Relics and to the Chapel of St. Helena are not allowed.

The relics of the cross kept here were interesting to look at even for a non religious person like me. The church is also not very crowded which makes it a nice place to admire.

There is a real jewel on one of the busiest intersections in Rome, Piazza della Repubblica: it is the Chiesa Santa Maria Degli Angeli Dei Martiri, the church I always visit when I am in Rome. Not a lot left from the original Michelangelo’s design, only tne perfection of his vaulted transept, but the spirit of the great master is still present in this magnificent church. The meridian solar line is a very special sight: the sun shines through the hole in the church's wall and right onto the meridian line. A marvelous bridge between the ancient walls of the Baths of Diocletian and our days was built by addition of several notable pieces of contemporary art, the bronze doors and the statue of John the Baptist created by Polish sculptor Igor Mitoraj in 2006 as well as the statue of Galileo Galilei Divine Man located in the church’s courtyard are some of them.
