In front of the bridge Trilussa Square spreads, a square dedicated to the most important Roman dialect poet, this square can be considered one of the gates to the Roman nightlife: from there you can reach the church of Santa Maria in Trastevere, in the middle of the same square, and the Rome Museum (Museo di Roma) in Trastevere, which is dedicated to the folkloric aspects of the city.

The Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere, was founded by the will of Pope Saint Callistus and constructed as a basilica by Pope Julius I, [337-352] and later restored during the ninth and thirteenth centuries. The present form dates back to the rebuilding of the years 1138-48 which took place under Pope Innocent II. In 1702 Clement XI commissioned the elaboration of the porch, the changing of the facade, while architect Virginio Vespignani performed a stylistic restoration between the year 1866 and 1877. The interior is divided into three naves by twenty-two ancient granite columns supporting a trabeation which consists of ancient fragments and continues until the counter. The cosmatesco floor, dating back to the year 1200, was almost completely rebuilt by Vespignani. The lacunar wooden ceiling was designed by Domenichino [1617] who painted the Assumption in Glory in the central octagon.
