| Page Views: 959 Last Visit to Rome: November, 2005 I Visit Here Frequently | San Pietro in Vincoli (chains) -Michangelo's MOSES by icunme - last update: Sep 10, 2006 |
Church of San Pietro in Vincoli - PAGE IN PROGRESS The Church of St Peter in Chains - Legend has it that Constantine's mother brought part of the chains to Rome from Palestine. The other half were here and that when the were placed together, they miraculously fused. The chains are encased in glass in the center of the church below the alter.
(This page is a work in progress - more info - addition photos coming) |
|  | MOSES by Michaelangelo In the right nave as you approach the alter, you will see the huge marble MOSES - sculpted by Michaelangelo. A powerful figure that exudes strength and command. The lighting changes and you have differing views of this monument. Stay awhile and Moses will mesmerize you. |
