It is a very beautiful and majestic Temple. Powerful energy is felt throughout the body. The second most important in Rome. St. Peter's Basilica is one thing, but Santa Maria Maggiore is completely different. There is no fuss, there is no endless stream of curious eyes. It just makes you want to listen to the sky calmly.
Be sure to visit.
Arriving in Rome for the first time, on the way to the hotel, I decided to stop at Santa Maria Maggiore on the way. It doesn't look like a very remarkable church, the building looks more like a theater. The inside turned out to be amazingly beautiful! I want to photograph every corner of it. Beautiful stone carvings, as well as colorful marble panes and mosaics on the floor and walls. Amazing golden ceiling and lots of statues. It is one of the four papal basilicas. And when I went there, I thought that I had already got to the Vatican))). She's worth coming to her specially and seeing live.
Rome is amazing. There are a huge number of religious buildings, and Santa Maria Maggiore is undoubtedly one of the top. It's not for nothing that the architectural history course for architects examines it in detail)
