Photography: Churches Of Rome - Santa Maria In Vallicella (Chiesa Nuova)

(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 Tuesday we explored  Santa Maria in Vallicella, also called Chiesa Nuova. The church has an amazing nave.

The lush altar is a real eye cookie

and the aisles are amazing

The chapels are real gems.

I also indulged into the ceiling frescos.

And the beautiful angels are the best part of this church. It is interesting how much erotics you dan discover in these churches.
