After eight years of regularly visiting the city of Rome for work my time here has come to an end. On this last visit I re-visited a couple of the sights that I like the most as well as had a clear view of the fountains within the Piazza Navona for the first time in 4 years since the restoration has finally finished (including the removal of scaffolding).



The weather also came to party and the last afternoon turned on some spectacular light for an overview of the city from one of my favourite vantage points, Garibaldi hill.

This little church is called Chiese del Sacro Cuore Del Suffragio. It said to resembles to the Duomo of Milan in a smaller version (and this is quite true). The church has a small museum devoted to ghosts and paranormal phenomena. The church was founded by Father Victor Jouet in 1894 but it was only four years later that the most inexplicable things started to happen. Intricating indeed!

Very nice pictures of Bella Roma by the way.

Thank you for the comment and thank you for providing the name - missed out on the ghosts and paranormal phenomena maybe some other time...
