Advent Calendar: Roman Door 5


Door of Palazzo Sciarra on Via del Corso. This palazzo was built in the 16th and 17th centuries for the Sciarra branch of the Colona family. It was designed by Flaminio Ponzio.

But who may abide the day of His coming? and who shall stand when He appeareth? For He is like a refiner's fire.
