2026 - Rome March 3 Day 7 Part 1 - Pantheon - Church of St. Louis of France

 

Rome was much more crowded with tourists

than expected this time of year but with 

the Olympics having finished and a marathon of 

some sort there were long lines even with ticketed entry

Yes, a hole!

It is now a Catholic Church

Church of St. Louis the French

Caravaggio!

On our way to St. Peter's and the Vatican Museums

and a major pick pocketing adventure.

The Church of the Sacred Heart of Suffrage (Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio) is home to one of the strangest museums in Rome, that of the Museo delle Anime del Purgatorio (Museum of the Souls of Purgatory). 

Unfortunately this was closed for renovation.

Lots of walking... taking a break
