Rome – Basilica di Santa Maria in Aracoeli

Bazilika sv. Marije

Nalazi se na vrhu Kapitolskog brda. Izgrađena je u 13. vijeku na mjestu još starije crkve. Do crkve vode 124 stepenice koje su izgrađene kao spomen na kugu koja je odnijela mnoge živote. U unutrašnjosti crkve nalazi se grobni spomenik  talijanskog kipara Donatela (Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi)  i grob bosanske kraljice Katarine Kosače-Kotromanić, žene pretposljednjeg bosanskog kralja Stjepana Tomaša.

Basilica of St. Mary

It is located at the top of Capitoline Hill. It was built in the 13th century AD, replacing an even older church that once stood there. To get to the church one must overcome 124 stairs, built as a memorial to the plague which took so many lives away. Inside the church there is the memorial to the Italian sculptor Donatello (Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi) and the grave of the Bosnian queen Katarina Kosača – Kotromanić, the wife of the penultimate Bosnian king, Stjepan Tomaš.
