LINKS TO CHURCHES OF ROME PAGES

This list and associated links shows the main Rome churches visited in 2005 and 2006.  They are shown roughly in geographical groupings - though sometimes it's quite big scale geography, and the Dom was never very good at geography in the first place.  The groupings will be amended and improved as time goes by - let us know if there are any glaring geographic problems.  Photo links will be added below as the Paradox finally gets stuck into his frighteningly large Rome photographic inventory!   Meantime here are links to a couple of overview pages from 2005 of  photos of Roman churches and their art.  There are also quite a few photos from October 2006 in domparadox.
