Located in the heart of Pompeii, Italy, the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary is a massive mausoleum and cathedral from the late 19th century with vaulted ceilings covered in luxurious artwork. The mausoleum is considered one of the distinctive religious architectural landmarks of the city and Italy in general, as it was distinguished by an architectural composition of gilded inscriptions, high ceilings, and spacious indoor and outdoor courtyards.
