The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome has been located on the Esquiline Hill for over 1600 years. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to Pope Liberius and asked him to build a church in her honor where snow would miraculously fall in August. The current basilica was built in the 5th century and has been expanded and renovated over the centuries, preserving its original Paleochristian structure. It is rich in art, with mosaics from the 5th century.
