ss Giovanni e Paolo

Circa 1700, Rome. The image includes the church, houses for Christians (used around the 2nd and 3rd centuries), a monastery, a bell tower, and more. The area was restored and renovated a couple of times. I find the buildings beautiful and their history interesting. The chapel has a fresco and a Madonna/child painting going back to the 13th and 15th centuries, respectively.
