For our second day in Rome we started off by seeing the Spanish Steps. We were heading for the Biblioteca Angelica (one of the oldest libraries in Rome) and happily stumbled upon them.

Despite checking the opening times, the gate to the Biblioteca Angelica was locked when we arrived. Fortunately the church next door - The Basilica di Sant’ Agostino - was open. It was one of the first churches in Rome built during the Renaissance.
The basilica even had a Caravaggio masterpiece on display. “Madonna dei Pellegrini” beautifully exemplifying Caravaggio’s dramatic portrayal of light and shadows.
