Ceiling painting in the Constantine Room

Painted by Tommaso Laureti, I found the ‘Triumph of Christianity’ to be particularly ironic as, a couple of months before I visited, a tourist had damaged two Roman sculptures because he couldn’t see the Pope – as long as somebody doesn’t suggest this is another prophecy come true.

Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família

I recently spent a few days in Barcelona, Spain.  The obligatory visit to the Gaudi Cathedral left me uninspired, if I’m honest.  I didn’t find it a spiritual place – and the sheer number of tourists taking their selfies made the space pretty manic.  Light levels were quite low as it was a cloudy day, so I had to push the ISO on my compact camera up a fair bit.
