Fra Angelico, the Dominican friar and painter, is buried here. There are also some fabulous frescoes by Filippino Lippi and the wonderful tomb of Pope Paul IV. The gorgeous sculpture, designed by Bernini, of the little elephant carrying an obelisk is just outside in the square

We researched Michelangelo sculptures and discovered there was one of the most famous pieces here. Christ the Redeemer is an absolutely beautiful piece of Art. We highly recommend you go see it. The church is amazing too!

Another beautiful church in Rome. It is next to Pantheon, so you can visit it when you visit Pantheon
