This is the back of the Pantheon, the Roman temple to all of the gods. It was consecrated as a church, Santa Maria Rotunda (or Chubby Saint Mary’s). The obelisk is from ancient Egypt and is mounted on a statue of an elephant by the great Baroque sculptor, Bernini. The courtyard is in front of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, or Saint Mary on top of Minerva.
