Day 3 - More Galleries

The tour continues through numerous corridors and rooms, which remain anonymous to me. They were spectacularly beautiful. This and the following pages are just the photos, with whatever identifying information I have been able to deduce.

Mosaic

Amazing mosaic tile work on the floor

A delightful floor mosaic. This may have come from Hadrian's sumptuous villa near Tivoli.

Another papal crest on the floor

Papal coat of arms.

Ceilings

Ceiling with Pope Leo 13th crest

Commemorating Pope Leo XIII

Another amazing ceiling

Yet another gloriously decorated ceiling

This is actually a three dimensional ceiling, not just a painting. Click here for a detailed view of one section.
