Rules for your visit
Visiting a church is always a spiritual experience. During the visit therefore you are invited to maintain a decorous behaviour and wear suitable clothing as well as contributing to silence and prayer. The visit can become your particular moment of grace: with the Virgin Mary, to whom the Basilica is dedicated with the name S. Maria dei Martiri, and with her son Jesus.




Welcome of Archpriest

Chapter of Canons
The Collegiate Basilica of S. Maria ad Martyres is the church of Rome, a part of the four Papal Basilicas, still governed by a Chapter of Canons, established for solemn worship and composed of twelve effective priests and six honoraries. Allocating such a large number of priests to the service of the Basilica of the Pantheon depends mainly on the large number of faithful who participate in the liturgical life, but also on the historical and religious importance of the Basilica, present throughout the world since ancient times. The Canons are coordinated by an Archpriest, who is also the Rector of the Basilica, and has the task of presiding over the Chapter, ordering the celebrations and taking care of both the worship activity that proclaims the pastoral welcome of pilgrims and visitors, administering the Basilica it is provided with all the expenses of worship with the offerings given by the faithful.
