Know Before You Go: Visiting the Colosseum

The Colosseum, Rome’s iconic ancient amphitheater, can be tricky to visit—here’s how to get the most out of your trip.

How to Get There

Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone is located at Piazza Navona in the center of Rome just behind the famous Bernini fountain “The Four Rivers.” Take a taxi, drive or take bus #64 to Corso Vittorio Emanuele/ Navona stop or the #70 to the Senate stop. The church is easy walking distance from many sites including the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps at Piazza di Spagna, and the Egyptian obelisk at Piazza del Popolo.

When to Get There

The Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone is open Monday - Friday, 9am - 7pm (closes 1pm - 3pm) and Saturday and Sunday, 9am - 8pm (closed 1pm - 3pm). Religious services are normally Saturday 7pm and Sunday 2:15pm and 7pm; check schedules beforehand. Come during the week to have a more serene visit or come for an evening of Baroque music. Concerts in the church’s Borromini Sacristy feature live singers and an architectural tour.

What’s Inside

Designs changed hands several times over the course of construction, with the church’s most distinctive features created by Francesco Borromini, such as the concave facade with opposing curved lines and the two bell towers made low for clear views of the cupola. The interior is shaped in a nearly circular Greek cross design and is surrounded by marvel masterworks depicting martyred saints. Notably a women-centric church, the dome is frescoed with the “Assumption of Mary” by Ciro Ferri.
