Santa Maria Portae Paradisi is a catholic church in Rome, in the Rione Campo Marzio, along via di Ripetta.

The church, already known in the 9th century with the name Santa Maria in Augusta, received the title in Porta Paradisi, or simply Portae Paradisi (Latin: "of the Gates of Heaven"), because it stood near one of the doors of the walls that surrounded the nearby Mausoleum of Augustus, also called paradiseiois.

Another explanation is that nearby there was the cemetery (closed in 1836 for health reasons, due to a cholera outbreak) of the Hospital of San Giacomo in Augusta, also called degli Incurabili (Italian: of the incurable).

[1] In the 16th century the church was rebuilt by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and on that occasion took the current name.

[1] Its facade, giving on via di Ripetta, is preceded by a little porch and incorporates a marble relief depicting a Madonna and Child, attributed to Andrea Sansovino.
