🌟 The Column of the Immaculate Conception – A Roman Landmark of Faith 🌟
Standing near the Spanish Steps, this monument was erected in 1857 to honor the Immaculate Conception of Mary, declared just a few years earlier. Atop the ancient Roman column stands a bronze statue of Mary, symbolizing purity and victory over sin.
Every December 8, the Pope lays flowers here, continuing a beloved Roman tradition. A beautiful blend of faith, history, and art in the heart of Rome!
