Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome was rebuilt in the 12th century under Pope Innocent II, and the article names no architect for that work. The infobox names Carlo Fontana, but the text credits him only with the 1702 facade restoration. The infobox gives 4th-century groundbreaking and 1143 completion. The text describes an early 4th-century predecessor, a 340 rebuild by Pope Julius I and re-erection on old foundations from 1140 to 1143.
The infobox says Romanesque, with a Baroque interior and a classicizing 1702 facade. Granite columns reused from the Baths of Caracalla carry Ionic and Corinthian capitals, and the church has medieval mosaics and a wooden coffered ceiling. It is 184 feet (56 m) long and 98 feet (30 m) wide.
Icons were crowned in 1634 and 1659. It is an active parish and titular church and a pilgrimage site, especially for the Assumption on August 15. The article gives no hours.
