(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.
On Friday we discovered the Chiesa di Santa Maria Immacolata all'Esquilino, close to the central railway station Termini. The church looks already from outside, but the sights inside are awesome. Like many other sacred buildings in Rome the place is stuffed with art.

.... and some detail shots
The chapels at the sidelines are nicely painted as well
and the windows are also a reason to visit this place.
To be continued.
