Description
It was a hot day in Rome, Italy, when I ducked into this beautiful cathedral with its soaring arches and beautiful decoration. Built in 1370, this Dominican-operated church, the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. It sits upon a site that was once a temple to the Egyptian goddess Isis, though at the time it was thought to be to the Greco-Roman goddess Minerva. Although it is considered a minor basilica, it is one of the most beautiful I have every seen, with impressive 15th century frescoes and a statue by Michelangelo.

I think your black and white choice makes the interior look even more ornate than it could possibly be, a magnificent image.

A revisit but this time to the black & white rendering. Still beautiful. Nice work, Mary. - Mike (V/F)

Thank you so much, Aurelio. This cathedral is absolutely stunning. Had there not been so many people there, I would have a lot more photos.
