Located near to Stazione Termini, Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the city's great basilicas, the largest in Rome dedicated to Virgin Mary.
I thought this is the front view but apparently it's not. Not many people on the street as the temperature reached 42.5 degree Celcius.
It has one of the Rome's best preserved Byzantine interiors, and the ceiling is quite impressive.
The confessio, and some nice mosaic works on the altar.
The kneeling statue of Pius IX under the confessio.
The front view of the basilica.

Ave wide angle!

Hi Albert,
It's just the 18-70 kit lens, I used it most time when traveling coz it's the most practical.
Hopefully the Tammy 17-50/2.8 will arrive soon.
Looking forward to see u at Club A700 ;-)
