BASILICA DI SANTA MARIA SOPRA MINERVA

The Basilica of Saint Mary Above Minerva is a titular minor basilica and one of the most important churches of the Roman Catholic Dominican order in Rome. It's considered the only Gothic church in Rome and houses the tombs of the St. Catherine of Siena and the Dominican painter Fra Angelico. Behind a self-effacing facade, its arched vaulting is painted with brilliant red ribbing, and blue with gilded stars, a 19th century restoration in the Gothic taste.
