[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 931340, member: 2844"]The building in the background is Santa Maria sopra Minerva. It is a Dominican (order) church built on the ruins of a Minerva temple, hence the name. It is close to the famous Pantheon. Santa Maria sopra Minerva is one of the few Roman churches with a mostly Gothic interior, which is why it was always my refuge in Rome when I needed to get away from all those Roman Baroque statues, to avoid Stendhal syndrome.:wacky:[/QUOTE]
