SanGirolamodeCroati_1 * San Girolamo dei Croati (Saint Jerome of the Croats)[1] is the national Catholic church of Croatia on Via Tomacelli in the Campus Martius, Rome. It was first built in 1587 for the refugees from areas ruled by the Turks, and dedicated to St Jerome, who was from Dalmatia. The land had been given to them in 1453 (the year of the Fall of Constantinople) by Pope Nicholas V, for the construction of a hospice. It is now a chapel of the Croatian College and is only open to visitors by arrangement with the College. * 3072 x 2304 * (3.47MB)

SanGirolamodeCroati_3 * This photo is from outside the Ara Pacis Museum with a red cube as part of a exhibition of Valentino fashions. The new Ara Pacis Museum in Rome opened in the spring of 2006. The museum was designed by the international architect Richard Meier and has been subject to much controversy and criticism. The Ara Pacis, a more than 2,000 year old Altar of Peace that was used (ironically) for sacrifices, is a commanding work of Roman art and architecture that had been lost to civilization for centuries. * 3072 x 2304 * (3.25MB)

S.CarloCatinari * San Carlo ai Catinari is an early-Baroque style church in Rome. The attribute ai Catinari refers to the presence, at the time of its construction, of many dishmaker shops in the same street of the church. The church was commissioned by the Order of the Barnabites and funded by the Milanese community in Rome to honour their fellow Milanese San Carlo Borromeo. It is one of at least three Roman churches dedicated to San Carlo, including San Carlo al Corso and San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (San Carlino). The main design was by Rosato Rosati between 1612-20. The drab, travertine fasade was designed by Giovanni Battista Soria and construction occurred during 1635-38. * 1536 x 2048 * (578KB)
