Photo Gallery: Santa Prassede, Rome

This gallery of 55 photos accompanies our article on Santa Prassede, Rome, a fascinating church that is best known for its abundance of 9th-century mosaics and numerous relics. Most of these photos are of the Chapel of St. Zeno, which is entirely covered in mosaics. (Note: If you have photos of the crypt or apse mosaic that you'd be willing to contribute, please contact me! There was a service when I visited and I wasn't able to make it back later as I'd hoped). Click any image to enlarge or start at the beginning for a virtual tour.
