Church of Saints Vincent and Anastasius at Trevi

Rome, Italy view map

Located next to the Trevi Fountain, the Baroque style Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio a Trevi was built in 1650, by order of the French-Italian Cardinal Mazarin, whose coat of arms is at the top of the façade. It is rumored that the woman’s face in the center is Mazarin's niece, Marie Mancini, a mistress of Louis XIV of France.
In 2002, Pope John Paul II presented the church as a gift to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
