EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the awe-inspiring front facade of The Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Lateran, also known as Santissimo Salvatore e Santi Giovanni Battista ed Evangelista in Laterano, in the heart of Rome during the early 1900s. As the cathedral church of the Diocese of Rome, this architectural masterpiece serves as the seat of the Roman Pontiff and holds significant religious and historical importance. The Lateran Basilica, as it is also known, is a triple-naved basilica with a rich architectural history that dates back to the 4th century. The current structure, however, was largely rebuilt between the 16th and 18th centuries, showcasing a beautiful fusion of Baroque and Renaissance styles. The facade of the cathedral is adorned with intricate sculptures and ornate details, including the central portal featuring the figures of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the Apostles. The portals on either side depict scenes from the lives of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, respectively. The grandeur of the facade is further emphasized by the two tall bell towers that flank the central structure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to witness the architectural beauty and religious significance of one of Rome's most iconic landmarks. The Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Lateran continues to be a place of pilgrimage and inspiration for millions of visitors each year, standing as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the artistic achievements of the past.
