Notable churches by construction time

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:
