The papal Liberian archpriest major archpriest of Santa Maria Maggiore, known simply by the name of "basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore" or "Liberian basilica" (because on its site it was thought there was a building of worship erected by Pope Liberius, however denied by investigations carried out under the flooring).
It is one of the four papal basilicas of Rome, located on the top of the Esquiline hill, on the peak of the Cispio, between the Rione Monti and the Esquiline.
It is the only basilica in Rome to have preserved the primitive early Christian structure, albeit enriched by subsequent additions.
The archpriest of the basilica is Cardinal Stanis?aw Ry?ko, while the honorary canon is the king of Spain by right.
