(Drivebycuriosity) - Rome is a treasure chamber full of art. Over many
centuries the eternal city amassed amazing architecture, paintings &
sculptures. The magnificent churches, which are spread all over the
city, are part of this treasure. They are the testimony that the city
has been the capital of powerful religious leaders, the popes, for 2000
years. I plan to visit any church I will pass during my visit of Rome.
Last week we discovered a little chapel on the Piazza Giovanni In Laterano, close to the name giving big basilica. Even though the little church seems to have no name the interior is exquisitely designed.
I love the combination of colors, especially the lush use of red. This altar is a real eye catcher.
The painted walls are also fascinating.
The ceilings look amazing as well
One of the gorgeous wall fresci.
And the windows complete the very positive impression.
