Basilica di Santa Maria in Ara coeli
Basilica of St. Mary of the Altar of Heaven
Tucked in-between the Campdoglio and Vittorio Emmanel
The designated Church of the Italian Senate and the Roman people
Built in the 13th Century, turned into a stable by Napoleon in 1797 restored in 1800
Certainly one of the biggest stairways
Sisters say cheese for the camera
Incredibly ornate ceiling
Art exhibit of Pope John Paul II ( Italians still love Him deeply)
