Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore
One of the major Roman Catholic churches! Legend says that Virgin Mary appeared in the pope's dream and wanted a church built on the only spot where snow would fall overnight. Another legend says that the very first gold that Columbus brought from America is processed in the ceiling. To admire the full glory visit in the evening when it's less crowded. Consider mass times. #rome #religiousart #impressive #basilica #vast #architecture
