 Rome - Porta Pia as seen from
Via XX Settembre by Sarita76
The Pope opened the road named Strada Pia which linked the Quirinal with this gate.
The outer part of Porta Pia was rebuilt under Pius IX in 1868. Leave a Comment

 Rome - Porta Pia by night by Sarita76
The French Empire had just collapsed and left the Pope without allies as Napoleon III was protecting the State of the Church. Leave a Comment

 Pope Bonifacius ( to the left
) by MagicMixer
But if ( e.g. he is away from Rome ) he is not there don´t forget to see the graves of the former Popes, even the very first St Peter himself.
You enter the St Peter the normal way
( remember the dressingcode , se my advice elsewhere ) and at the front there are stairs to the UNDERGROUND ( No, NOT the Metro )
Ande there they are, if not risen yet, the old Popes on Parade.
In Sweden we are Protestants,and I am not really a believer anyway, but I ALWAYS like to visit Catholic churches, and you never can tell........maybe I change one day :-)
My old mother-in-law , in Poland, is , like most Polish, VERY Catholic.
Sending her a couple of postcards of the Polish Pope and back in Sweden some photos , sent me right up to "her heaven" and will surely get me a couple of extra "vodkas" at my next visit. Nastrovie !!! Leave a Comment

 Baroque Angel by Packerman
It's tied between being in the Roman forum and St. Peter's cathedral. Both are a bit awe inspiring just to be there. Leave a Comment

Visit the Vatican. Even though I am a very lapsed catholic I just had to visit the centre of the Roman Catholic religion.
We arrived on a Sunday & were there for a blessing from 'Il Papa' It was a great event, very moving and I truly envy the thousands of people with such a great faith.
Great pizza & red wine!
The Trevi Fountain at night was very impressive too Leave a Comment

 List of popes at St.
Peters by karenincalifornia
My son, the non-Catholic scholar in his Catholic high school, took this photo, no doubt to secure his position in religion class as a know-it-all. Leave a Comment

 A celemony of Vatican by Andrew_Liu
After visiting the St.Peter Cathedral a team of rich dressed people appeared from right circle post corridor. We were pleased very much and took some shots as soon as we could. We thought that it is certainly some important ceremony that is a seldom chance hardly coming by.
Only while I backed home and enjoyed this photo, I found that the team doesn¡¯t like that we thought.
But I haven¡¯t got any answer till now. If you know, tell me, please! Leave a Comment
