Church of Saint Maria in Via

The church where Our Lady appeared in the well

The Church is built where a stable with a well used to be where Mother Mary apppeared to two servants of Cardinal Pietro Capocci.  When the water began to flood, an image of Mary appeared floating on the water to the servants. The next day, hearing of what happened, Pope Alexander IV had a church dedicated to the Madonna in honor of what ocurred. As you walk in the church to the right, you will find a side chapel with the well which you can still drink water from.
