The famous statue of baby Jesus from Chiesa di Santa Maria in Aracoeli, Rome

Posted 1 year ago by trakker in response to avatar elena's question: Tell me some great museums or churches to visit in the Capitoline Hill of Rome (give a different answer) .

I was impressed by the statue of baby Jesus we saw inside Chiesa di Santa Maria in Aracoeli. In fact, it was only the copy of the original, because that one had been stolen from the church in 1994. Why? it was very famous... made from wood brought from the garden of Gethsemane. To reach the church go to the southerneastern side of Piazza del Campidoglio.
