Saint Cyril and Methodius is a Serbian orthodox Church that I have particularly loved.
It is close to the Tivoli Park and if you’re coming from the center you cannot miss it.
I have appreciated his structure and architecture but it’s strength lays in the interior.
It is richly decorated and you won’t find nor even a centimeter of its walls that has not been duly painted!
I have entered at the end of a function and I have patiently waited for people to leave.
They use to kiss a portait cover by a glass.
I couldn’t take a picture of that because they were queuing to kiss it, while I took advantage to sneak around and discretely take as many pictures as I could!
I am afraid that this pictures won’t render the idea of the beauty of this place but I was seriously impressed!
Wow! It’s stunning!
Thank you Ellie, I am glad that you have liked it☺️
What an amazing church! It is beutifuloutside and the interior, I don´t have words to tell how much I love it. As a vey practical person, I am thinking how long time it took to have the paintings done.
I thought the same thing as well when I saw the ceiling
Uuuuu, Flavia. You’ve got a good nose, not just eye. I shared this post on FB and added: “Never entered this church, in 43+ years. Takes a Roman woman to show me its beauty.”
In the meantime, today has been raining ALL day heavily, we’ve got a spot on the bathroom ceiling, the dog is upset over thunder, and I’d rather be anywhere else…
My dear, how strange! I have found this church pretty close to the center and it amazed me with its beauty. So after all it is true that some tourists know better a place than locals 🤔😂 I will spend the next 2 weeks in Rome. My departure has been anticipated for a bunch of reasons that is too long to explain here. So, if you want to make a tour in the Eternal City I will be glad to show you around or maybe you will be my guide!? 😊😉
This is a most wonderful invitation and I’d love that very much. We will do it sooner or later, I’m sure. This church I look at every time I pass since it’s pretty magnificent. I have taken a photo of its door, from afar, but never even approached it or thought to enter. It’s an Orthodox church and I wouldn’t even know how to behave in there. I have problems with that in Italy too. 😀 Just not a church-goer…
Me neither, I am an atheist!!! Maybe I am more accustomed to churches than you as in Rome we say that we have more churches than houses! But the next time just enter, do it for me, please!
Ohh, of course I will. You’ve opened my eyes! ;)(Also, I sent you an email, have a look!)
Beautiful!
