You can get church fatigue quite easily in Rome but I defy anyone not to see the splendour and the beauty of this fine example. It's absolutely huge!

The oldest church in town, and the most impressive with its ornate Gothic style. I love it here and think it's the perfect drop-in place if you're feeling too hot and bothered and just want somewhere pretty to go and sit for a bit.

A very sweet and endearing spot in the hustle and bustle of touristy Venice. We caught a Vivaldi concert here later in our holiday as well. Delightful.

A bit of a trek from the beach but worth it! A beautiful byzantine church and apparently the real pillar st paul was flayed at as well! Great little spot.

The oldest church in Rome, and perhaps the world (??) it's absolutely beautiful with artwork and frescoes and mosaics to match the best i've ever seen.
