Visit to Santa Maria sopra Minerva (Rome, IT)



It has been a very rainy day in Rome, so I decided to spend the day indoors and visited the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.  I have visited this beautiful church before and posted photos of the church.  I never tire of visiting here and taking photos inside since there is so much beauty in the interior of the church, including the photo above which is at a side altar of the church .  It is a painting entitled The Savior, and is attributed to the artist, Perugino.  I could not get that close to take the photo, so this is a photo of a postcard.  What follows are photos I took inside the church of actual things!

Michelangelo's statue of The Redeemer
Tomb of St. Catherine of Siena (encased within the main altar of the church).
