Santa Maria sopra Minerva



The Santa Maria sopra Minerva is located near one of the major tourist attractions in Rome, the Patheon. If you walk along the back of the Pantheon you will be sure to find a giant obelisk with an elephant underneath, once there you have reached your destination.

This church is slated as the only Gothic church in all of Rome. The style of this church is different from many of the other churches we have been to. There were skeleton heads, something I have not generally noticed in the other churches we have been to, as well as the lighting was extremely low. It was quite difficult to capture pictures but I did manage a few so enjoy.
