Comments

  • With its stripy neo-Gothic exterior and prominent position on Via Nazionale, the American Episcopal church of St Paul's Within the Walls is something of a landmark. There's not a whole lot to see, but it's a quiet spot for a breather and there are some unusual 19th-century mosaics. Designed by the Birmingham-born Edward Burne-Jones, they feature the faces of his famous contemporaries. In his representation of The Church on Earth, St Ambrose (on the extreme right of the centre group) has JP Morgan's face, and General Garibaldi and Abraham Lincoln (wearing a green tunic) are among the warriors. In the small garden outside there are a number of modern sculptures.
