Sunday was an optional tour for the program, but seeing the Basilica of St. Mary Major was definitely on my list of things to do. If some of you aren't aware, part of the program Villanova has with the Vatican is to create these awesome 360 degree virtual tours of some of the most spectacular Churches in Rome.
Currently the virtual tour of St. Paul Outside-The-Walls is up on the Vatican's website (I'll link at the bottom), and St. Mary Major is another that has been captured by the Villanova crews over the past semesters to be put online.
Knowing this, I was eager to see it in person, and I'm glad I went along for the tour. It really is an incredible Basilica, so as what seems to be an easy way for me to keep these blog posts short, I'll leave you with some pictures I took, but look forward to the virtual tour soon, because it's sure to out-do my pictures.
