The Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva is considered the only Gothic church in Rome.
In 1280 began the construction of the great Gothic church with three aisles by Dominicans, with funds donated by Pope Boniface VIII and many of the faithful. The architects were inspired by the basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, however, greatly simplifying the elements of the example of Florence.
Inside the building preserves valuable works of the fifteenth and sixteenth century also Raffaellino of Garbo, by Fra Angelico and the statue of Christ carrying the cross, the work of Michelangelo.

It amazes me that the detail put into a building back then was more of a thing of art. A thing of price and beauty. Nice work.

I love the blue on the ceiling of the church

Fabulous wide-angle shot, Fabrizio, and wonderful colors!
Oh, todavía la recuerdo de mi viaje a Roma, es preciosa!
Absolutely magnificent these organs but also and especially these magnificent ceilings in the intense blue. Very beautiful basilica
non amo molto questo genere di scatti, però va detto che questa foto, oltre che essere tecnicamente ottima è anche molto “utile” per scoprire una splendida opera d’arte, che nel mio caso non conoscevo.
Very nice. This was one church we didn’t go into in Rome, but it looks like we should have!
Such gorgeous color and detail–I love the information you provide as well. It really helps deepen the connection with the image. Great post and image Fabrizio!
Great history and great picture, full of color and details!
No esperaba encontarme una catedral gotica! pero me gustan mucho los colores! Bravo

Me encanta el encuadre, el detalle y los colores del techo. Una pena que por las condiciones de luz hayas perdido nitidez en la parte de abajo de la foto. Aún así, gran toma.
A beautiful view … to the sky. Superb.
That is a fabulous image – I love how the natural light coming in from the windows is illuminating that magical scene. Brilliant work!
Beautiful !
