One of the most wonderful basilicas in Rome. Located near Piazza del Campidoglio, at the top of the spectacular 124 marble steps. Plates comes from various ancient buildings. It was built in the 13th century, probably on the site of the ancient temple of Juno. The church was built by Franciscans , probably according to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio. In 1348, on the initiative of Cola di Rienzi , a staircase was added as a votive offering of thanks to the Mother of God for stopping the plague epidemic . The stairs were designed by Lorenzo di Simone di Andreozzo . The interior is an absolute spiritual feast. However, the temple is known primarily from Santo Bambino - the fifteenth-century figurine of the Baby Jesus. The figurine was reportedly stolen on February 1, 1994, and replaced by a copy.

I took a picture (see below) of the Temple of Vespasian and Titus while on Capitoline Hill outside the the Roman Forum. It’s possible to view much of the Forum from that location—for free! I’m glad we viewed while there because it set this temple apart from the others we saw while in the Roman Forum. Just imagining what the complete structure looked like, it still fascinates me to see the ruins standing for almost two thousand years.
