La Chiesa Nova where St. Philip Neri is buried.

Chapel of St. Philip Neri.

Body of St. Philip Neri.

Saint Andrew of the Valley.

St. Yves of Wisdom (design by Boromini), site of the state university.

High water marks for various floods. In antiquity flooding of the city was common.

The Pantheon.

Tomb of St. Catherine of Siena at Sopra Minerva. Her head is in Siena.

Sopra Minerva built on the ruins of a temple to Minerva. This is the only purely Gothic structure in Rome.

The Pantheon entrance.

The hole in the ceiling of the Pantheon that creates a unique effect.

A section of the Pantheon. This shows St. Joseph. The Pantheon was converted into a church many years ago and the idols removed. The Pantheon is somewhat hard to photograph owing to its round nature.

Bust honoring Raphael Santi (the painter and architect), who is buried here.

Performance artist. You can't tell but he is standing perfectly still and has a tie that looks like it is blowing in the breeze.

St. Peter's Basilica was just a few blocks from our hotel.

The edge of Vatican City. The columns to the right are the edges of St. Peter's Square.

It warmed my little engineer's heart to see floors numbered this way.

Castille d'Angelo. A fortress built as a secular building but designed to protect the pope who could move to it by a secret passage under the city.

St. Peter's.

The Tiber. Not for swimming anymore.

This is the Bridge of Angels. Designed by Bernini, each angel carries an instrument of the Passion.

These motor scooters are ubiquitous in Rome, owing to how easy they are to park and to manoeuver in the cramped streets.

SPQR -- The Senate and the Roman People -- in ancient times a symbol of the city, still is today a symbol of the city, and can be found stamped on most manholes and other public works.

Tomb of Raphael.
