After lunch and the aqueduct we stopped at some churches. The first was
designed by Michelangelo and includes the Prime Meridian inside.
It's a point where science & faith come together. The Pope ordered
it way back when to prove the church was forward and on the scientific
edge of things
There's a hole for the sun to come through at noon and a hole for the
light of Polaris to come through and they join along the metal lines on
the floor.
Attached to the church is a Roman bathhouse -- because what else prompts
one to take a bath and get clean more than attending church?
It's kinda like an old school baptismal.
