Today our class did a walking tour of some of the sites of Rome - in particular, we went to see the Basilica of Sant' Agostino. We also saw some great Caravaggio paintings, a past "house of ill repute", the tombs of both Saint Monica and Catherine of Siena and Michaelangelo's "Christ the Redeemer"

Tomb of Saint Catherine of Siena

Michelangelo's
