The most beautiful cathedral in Rome, Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore was founded in the 5th century and is one of the four major cathedrals in Rome. However, the interior of this cathedral is the most overwhelmingly beautiful of the four cathedrals. Most cathedrals in Rome are gorgeous, but this cathedral goes beyond gorgeousness. The moment you enter the cathedral, you will see the ceiling and walls of the cathedral covered with countless gold leaf. This gold was brought from the New World by Columbus in the 5th century and covered the ceiling with gold. It is a very large and gorgeous cathedral that I recommend visiting. 📍Admission to the first floor is free. However, there is an admission fee for the second floor and the basement. 📍A religious event is held on the 25th of every month, so if your schedule matches, I recommend going. 📍Location: P.za di Santa Maria Maggiore, 00100 Roma RM, Italy #Rome travel #Europe travel #Italy travel #Cathedral
