Say goodbye to Republican Square and walk to the nearby Notre Dame Cathedral (Notre Dame Snow Cathedral) to continue the tour. Legend has it that in 356 AD, the Pope dreamed of seeing the Virgin Mary, who ordered "to build a church where it snows tonight". Although it was August, the sky unexpectedly snowed, and where it snowed, the only church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome was built. Thirty-six columns in the interior support a huge space, while the structure of horizontal beams supported by two rows of columns (a typical early Christian church building technique) makes the space more solemn and solemn. In the underground space in front of the church, there are large sculptures of the Pope kneeling devoutly to the Virgin Mary. Because it was the last stop and there was plenty of time, we enjoyed it easily in the church. Looking up at the golden mosaic "Coronation of the Virgin Lady" of the 13th century on the dome, looking around at the sculptures, murals, reliefs, windows and flowers. In addition to strolling on the marble floor of the church, we also sit in chairs from time to time, reading travel materials, recalling what we have seen and heard.

    It’s not very publicised but it’s one of the most beautiful churches in Rome and the entire world. Prepare yourself to walk with head up, as the ceilings are a work of art. There’s not a corner in here that doesn’t deserve do be admired.Truly worth it

    The front of the church is a bell tower, the interior is Renaissance-style plaid flat, surrounded by frescoes from the fifth century mosaics, and has a variety of styles since it has been renovated many times.

    The Cathedral of Notre Dame Majeor is really close to the Temini train station, so the train came here to visit. Entering the church requires security checks. The level of the church is still very high! It is also a boutique collection, an eye-opener, the church is really gorgeous and majestic.

    Legend has it that in the midsummer of the 4th century A.D., the Virgin Mary Tomon gave Pope Libero a monastery to show the glory of the Virgin Mary where it snowed. As a result, snow fell on Mount Esquilino the next morning, and the Pope ordered people to build a church there, so the church was also known as the Notre Dame Snow Palace. Today, the church also has activities to sprinkle white rose petals to symbolize the Holy site. It is also the first church named after the Virgin Mary in the world. The current Pope visits the Virgin Mary Hall before and after his visit to China. The church was built in about the fourth century A.D. The dome depicts the coronation of the Virgin Mary. The oil painting depicts the scene of the birth of the Virgin Mary.
