Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini is a Baroque church that grew from the confraternity founded with St. Philip Neri to help pilgrims and the sick; the present building dates to the late 1500s–early 1600s and sits near Palazzo Farnese and Ponte Sisto. From the outside it has a tall, slightly concave façade and a small dome with a lantern; inside it feels intimate but richly decorated, with a long nave, side chapels, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere shaped by its history of charity and pilgrimage.
The church contains some striking artworks: the large altarpiece of the Holy Trinity by Guido Reni (1625) dominates the main altar, and there are important chapels and paintings by artists such as Cavalier d’Arpino, plus a notable marble group of St. Matthew and the Angel attributed to Jacob Cobaert and Pompeo Ferrucci. You’ll also find devotional images like the Madonna “Auxilium Christianorum” and several frescoes and sculpted memorials tied to the church’s long use as a hospice and parish.
