What a purely delightful way to start my morning: The Church of Sta Pudenziana. I loved the exterior the moment I saw the roofline appear as I turned the street corner to find it. The state, colour and simplicity of the exterior is lovely! The picture above is a little warped as I took the shot with the fish-eye lens, but I thought it would be nice if you could see the setting in which the church sits. It is one story below ground level. You have to walk down an amazing set of steps to get to it and then a carpet of simple mosaics leads you inside.
This church is the last stop in the app, and what a way to go! You'll have to buy the app to get all the photos and details but I will tell you that the apse mosaics were created in approximately 390, making them possibly the oldest mosaics in Rome; making this site definitely worth the time to visit.
I am back at the B&B now, filing and sorting photos into folders! I might pop down to the forum this afternoon to take a few shots there. Basically, I am finished all the shots we need for the app, so now I am after bonus material.
