Rome, Italy – miscellaneous church exteriors
In 2006, the college chorus I was a member of took a concert tour of Italy. One of the cities visited was Rome (of course!). While touring the city I had the opportunity to photograph the exteriors of a great many churches. A few of them are shown in this set.
These photos have had minimal post-processing.

David,
These are a joy to behold. Thank you. I hope you had the opportunity to visit some of the interiors of these magnificent structures in addition to the exteriors. These structures have incredible architecture and artistry within. I saw these churches in 1976, 1977, 1994, 2000 and 2017. Your pictures have brought back wonderful memories. Thank you so much for presenting them.

I have been inside the Pantheon, St. Peter's, Santa Maria Maggiore, and the 2 I gave links to posted UHH sets. I only wish I had had the time to visit the others. You're welcome, and thanks for the nice comment. I'm glad you liked the set.David,

David, this is a wonderful set and takes me back to my last visit to my favorite city in 2000. Saint Peters and the Sistine Chapel took my breath away and moved me to tears. To go down to the catacombs and visit the tomb of Saint Peter, who walked with Christ, was a transcendent experience. I hope to visit Rome again before I’m too old and once again sit at a cafe on the Piazza Navona in the afternoon. Rome is indeed the eternal city.

TriX, so nice to see you. I'm happy to have rekindled some fine memories.
Ourspolair, thank you very much. I keep searching my 45,000 photos on Flickr for possible postings here. (It's getting harder.)
