context_page_description: There are more than 900 churches in Rome,
  including some notable Roman Catholic Marian churches. Most, but not all, of these are Roman Catholic.
  The first churches of Rome originated in places where Christians met. They were divided into three categories:
  the houses of private Roman citizens
  the deaconries
  other houses holding a titulus
context_section_description: This is a list of churches of Rome cited in Wikipedia articles or with related files on Wikimedia Commons.
  The churches are grouped according to the time of their initial construction: the dates are those of the first record of each church. The reader, however, should not expect the current fabric of the buildings to reflect that age, since over the centuries most have undergone reconstruction. Almost all the churches will thus appear considerably more recent, and as a patchwork of periods and styles.
  Some interesting churches are now closed except on special occasions, such as weddings. These include: Santa Balbina, Santi Nereo e Achilleo, San Cesareo in Palatio and Sant'Urbano.
