[Rome, Italy] Santa Prassede Basilica

#FreeHotelStay When you see the mosaics in the Basilica di Santa Prassede, your eyes will sparkle as you see how humans have created such wonderful things to please God. The mosaics around the central altar in particular depict scenes of people who have been allowed into heaven being escorted by angels to the gates of heaven, as well as Christ, the twelve apostles in white clothes, and the four evangelists. When you enter the San Zenone Chapel inside the basilica, you will see a 9th century ceiling painting depicting Jesus and angels. You will be captivated by the mosaics, which combine beauty and cuteness. You will be amazed not only by the design but also by the high level of production technique. It is rarely listed as a must-see attraction for tourists in Rome, but if you like mosaics, I definitely recommend it.
