San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane Courtyard
Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
A picture may be worth a thousand words but all these buildings speak louder and clearer in person. Its one thing to sit in class looking at a blown up picture of the dome in San Carlo alla Quattro Fontane in Koubek and decide you like it, it’s intriguing. It is a completely different experience to explore the building noticing every detail deciding you love this masterpiece. You feel the complexity of it instead of just seeing it and in the case of San Carlo alla Quattro Fontane it makes all the difference.
So is there a better way to study architecture?
Nope
