With a bit of searching there are some amazing sights in Rome. This includes Santa Maria Maggiore, a large Basilica not too far from Rome’s Termini train station.
While looking serene and peaceful it was a busy place even at 9 am on a weekend. The combination of it being a jubilee year in Rome as well as this being the final resting place for the most recent pope means lots of visitors.
Next up, Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola a baroque classic known for its amazing frescoes making a flat roof look like it is extending up to the heavens.
Galeria Borghese sits in an old villa within a park and is certainly a heavy hitter amongst global art galleries. It’s a chance to see a few of Bernini’s finest sculptures but the whole place from floor to ceiling is covered in masterpieces.
The level of detail to carve marble into fine textures is breathtaking
Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano
