Santa Maria Maggiore



San Giovanni in Laterano





So we went to this church and Santa Maria Maggiore for my on site class. The inside of it is amazing as well as the front! They say the heads of Peter and Paul are inside the big thing in the middle, i can't figure out if they mean like their literal heads or not...... it's got massive statues of the twelve apostles lining the center of the church. It's amazing inside overall.

Trevi Fountain





The Trevi Fountain! It's basically amazing just like everything else. But you are walking through all this little old residential area and then it's just there!

The Pantheon




The Pantheon! It's amazing inside, and if you stand directly in front of it you can't even tell there is a dome!

Vatican cont.





The statue was called belvidere (i'm sure spelled differently) but that's how they pronounced it and i just thought that was cool. A hallway in the vatican museum, and the last two are pictures inside st. peters.

Vatican Cont.





Ok so this is one of the two fountains in front of St. Peters, The navtivity scene which was still up, larger then i could fit in one picture, rediculously life like, and overall the most amazing one i've ever seen, A picture of the last supper, and a statue of eve... the paintings and statues and stuff are all inside the museum

Piazza Navona




This is a fountain that is gorgeous in the Piazza Navona right across the river from the school!
