Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio church and the heart of the Pope

This is certainly a special church located just in front of the Trevi fountain. The sculptures, paintings and ceiling decorations are impressive. The church was completed in 1650 and is in the Baroque style. The hearts that popes carry on their chests are kept in the Santi Vincenzo. The hearts of 25 popes are displayed here. A nice church to visit when you are at the Trevi fountain.

Dit is zeker een speciale kerk gelegen recht voor de Trevi fountain. De beelden, schilderwerken, en plafond decoraties zijn zeer indrukwekkend. De kerk in Barok stijl werd voltooid in 1650. Het zilveren hart dat de Paus draagt op zijn borst wordt hier bewaard in de Santi Vincenzo. 25 harten van Pauzen worden hier tentoongesteld. Een kerk die gemakkelijk te bezoeken is als je naar de Trevi fontein gaat..

  5. We didn't go inside this church when we visited the Trevi Fountain. I think maybe because it was closed. It certainly is beautiful.
