The Neo-Classical facade of San Rocco in Rome, the church neighbouring Augustus' mausoleum and the Ara Pacis museum.
The church is dedicated to Saint Roch (Rocco in Italian), the patron saint of (among other things) plague victims, and this church was built as an accompaniment to a hospital, the whole complex being founded as an answer to the bubonic plague that struck Rome in 1477.
The church replaced an older church in the area, but not even that church is the one you see today. In 1654 rumours spread that an icon the church had led to miracles, and the money generated from pilgrims to the site meant a new, Baroque church could be built.
But the facade is actually even younger that that, built in 1834 by the architect Giuseppe Valadier. This makeover was probably due to the church having been turned from being a hospital church to a parish church just some ten years earlier. Going for a new, fresh statement look would not be strange then.

The mouth of the Saint Rocco tunnel - the tunnel is over 5.5KM long and traverses the Velebit mountain range.
Run away, run away and save something in you / and don't let them do it / don't become a man to burn / The air, the air you breathed a short time ago / still has its scent / of real things, of pure things, of freedom.
He had a Yoda air about him as a puppy. This was taken about a year ago. He's all grown up now and creating mischief for my Sister :) <3<3<3

Every ranch needs a great dog. Looks to me like he has a great life. I couldn't resist giving him a bite of food. Actually I don't know his name. He looks like a "Rocco " to me.

Every crag and gnarled tree and lonely valley has its own strange and graceful legend attached to it.

M San Rocco with Velino in the background. Weather forecast were bad. The humid south-wind strongly reduced the contrast. Not a good day for carrying a wide-angle.
Built half a mile offshore between 1796 and 1801 cost about £400 to build and was named in honour of Lieutenant General Gordon. It was extensively damaged by German occupation when it was used for target practice however the tower was restored in the 1970's after a public appeal.
