Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli
This church was designed by Michelangeo and was incorporated into
the ancient hall of the "tepidarium" of the Baths of Emperor
Diocletian (according to tradition the roman Baths were built by
Christians condemned to foced labour). The original project was
altered in the 1700's by Luigi Vanvitelli. This façade of
the Basilica formed the exedra of the "calidarium" at
the Baths of Diocletian.
