Situated on the summit of the Esquiline Hill, although enriched by subsequent renovations, St. Mary Major is the only patriarchal basilica of the four in Rome to have preserved its paleochristian structures.
According to the legend, Giovanni, a rich Roman patrician, childless, decided with his wife to dedicate a church to the Virgin Mary, appeared to them on an August night in 352. Our Lady informed them that a miracle would show the site where to build the church. Pope Liberius had the same dream, and the following day he went to the Esquiline: he found the hill covered with snow. The pope himself traced the perimeter of the building and the church was financed by the couple.
Even today, like every year, the miracle of snow is commemorated on August 5 with a special celebration: on this occasion white petals are released into the air from the top of the basilica, creating a truly evocative and must-see effect.
In the basilica, you can admire the first inanimate crib in history, The Nativity of Arnolfo di Cambio, brilliant Tuscan artist and well-known sculptor perfected at the workshop of Nicola Pisano (la bottega di Nicola Pisano).
Between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century, the basilica, with its essentially medieval appearance, underwent profound transformations: Sixtus V and Paul V erected two large side chapels, called Sistine and Pauline, and the palace next to the facade.
Between 1670 and 1676 Carlo Rainaldi redesigned the apse in its present form; inside there are important works of art. On the walls of the nave, above the entablature, there are mosaic panels dating back to the fifth century.
The ceiling dates back to the time of Alexander VI Borgia (1492-1503) and, according to tradition, it was gilded with the first shipment of American gold, a gift from Isabella of Spain.
The triumphal arch is decorated with mosaics from Storie dell’infanzia di Gesù (stories of Jesus' childhood) in the time of Sixtus III. In the apse basin there is a beautiful mosaic of the thirteenth century made and signed by Iacopo Torriti.

The 'Esquiline' Obelisk
The 'Esquiline' Obelisk
The Obelisco Esquilino (14.75 m) stands in Piazza dell' Esquilino, at the rear of the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The obelisk dates back to the second century CE and once stood outside the Mausoleum of Augustus, where it was paired with the Obelisco Quirinale.
The obelisk was unearthed (broken into several pieces) in 1519, near the ruins of the mausoleum. However, it wasn’t until the reign of Pope Sixtus V (r. 1585-90) that it was re-erected. In 1587 the pope had it set up in the piazza in front of the entrance to his property, Villa Peretti Montalto. The villa was destroyed in the 19th century to make way for the building of Stazione Termini, Rome's main railway station.
The base sports four inscriptions, which were added at the behest of Pope Sixtus V.
South-west face: SIXTVS V PONT MAX / OBELISCVM / AEYGPTO ADVECTVM / AVGVSTO / IN EIVS MAVSOLEO / DICATVM / EVERSUM DEINDE ET / IN PLVRES CONFRACTVM PARTES / IN VIA AD SANCTVM / ROCHVM IACENTEM / IN PRISTINAM FACIEM / RESTITVTVM / SALVTIFERAE CRVCI / FELICIVS / HIC ERIGI IVSSIT AN D / MDLXXXVII PONT III. (Pope Sixtus V bade the obelisk lying in the street by San Rocco, which had been transported from Egypt and dedicated to Augustus at his mausoleum, then broken up into several pieces, to be restored to its original appearance and erected here in more auspicious wise to the Cross which brings salvation, in the year of the Lord 1587, the third of his pontificate.) South-east face: CHRISTVS / PER INVICTAM / CRVCEM / POPVLO PACEM / PRAEBEAT / QVI / AVGVSTI PACE / IN PRAESEPE NASCI / VOLVIT. (May Christ, who during the peace of Augustus consented to be born in a manger, grant peace to his people through the invincible Cross.)North-east face: CHRISTI DEI / IN AETERNVM VIVENTIS / CVNABVLA /LAETISSIME COLO /QVI MORTVI / SEPVLCRO AVGVSTI / TRISTIS / SERVIEBAM. (I who in sadness formerly served the tomb of the dead Augustus with greatest joy revere the cradle of Christ, the everliving God).
North-west face: CHRISTVM DOMINVM / QVEM AVGVSTVS / DE VIRGINE / NASCITVRVM / VIVENS ADORAVIT / SEQ DEINCEPS / DOMINVM / DICI VETVIT / ADORO. (I worship Christ the Lord, whom Augustus in his lifetime worshipped on the eve of his birth from a Virgin and subsequently forbade himself to be called Lord.)

The October 26 Connection The DeLorean's First Trip: In the original Back to the Future (Universal Studios) movie, October 26, 1985, is the exact "Present Time" date.

The Overlap: The exact calendar day (October 26) links the symbolic birth of modern Parisian geometry with the fictional birth of pop culture time travel. Facebook ·Pat Bolivia The Madeleine Connection Architectural Alignment: The Place de la Concorde is built on a direct, monumental visual axis with the Église de la Madeleine (The Madeleine Church). If you stand at the center of the square next to the Luxor Obelisk and look straight north up the Rue Royale, the grand, Greek-temple facade of the Madeleine perfectly frames your vision. Historical Synchronization: King Louis XV originally ordered the construction of both the square and the church around the same period in the 18th century to reshape western Paris. A Cultural Nod to Time: In French literature, the word "Madeleine" is universally tied to time travel. Author Marcel Proust famously coined the term "Madeleine de Proust" in his masterpiece In Search of Lost Time. It describes how tasting a small madeleine cake triggers involuntary memory, instantly transporting a person back to their past—acting as a psychological time machine.

Modo IA Todo Imágenes Vídeos Noticias Maps Shopping Libros Vuelos Finance 22 sitios Yes, there is a fascinating historical and architectural line that directly connects Heliopolis, Luxor, Paris, the Vatican, and Buenos Aires through the legacy of Egyptian obelisks. While some connections involve the literal relocation of ancient monuments, others represent deep architectural inspiration and symbolic inheritance. Here is how these five locations are interconnected: 1. The Ancient Sources: Heliopolis and Luxor Heliopolis: Known as the "City of the Sun", it was the epicenter of solar worship dedicated to the sun god Ra. Ancient Egyptians built obelisks as stylized petrified rays of the sun, making Heliopolis the primary production site for these monuments. Wikipedia +2 Luxor: Formerly the ancient city of Thebes, Luxor houses massive temples where Pharaohs like Ramses II built giant red granite obelisks to flank temple entrances as markers of both divine and earthly power. Wikipedia +3 2. The Shared Antiquities: Paris and the Vatican Paris: In 1829, the ruler of Ottoman Egypt gifted France one of the two massive 3,000-year-old obelisks standing at the entrance of the Luxor Temple. Known today as the Luxor Obelisk, it was erected in 1836 at the center of the Place de la Concorde in Paris, while its twin still stands in Egypt. My Modern Met +3 Vatican City: The monumental Vatican Obelisk standing at the center of St. Peter's Square actually originated in Heliopolis. It was taken by Roman Emperor Caligula in 37 AD to decorate his circus in Rome. Centuries later, in 1586, Pope Sixtus V had it moved to its current location in front of St. Peter's Basilica to symbolize the triumph of Christianity over paganism. Turismo Roma +4 3. The Modern Mirror: Buenos Aires Buenos Aires: The iconic Obelisco de Buenos Aires built in 1936 on Avenida 9 de Julio is not an ancient Egyptian artifact, but it shares a direct lineage. The Argentine architect Alberto Prebisch explicitly used the classic geometric proportions of the Luxor Obelisk in Paris as his design muse to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city's first foundation.
