Sadly, we were not allowed to take any pictures in the building, so I have no photos from it. It was a beautiful building and I learned about the job of an ambassador. While it seems fun at times, it seems like it would be a challenge at other times. Even so, the job seemed very rewarding. Afterward, we walked into another church. We also saw the smallest country in the world, &#8220;Knights of Malta.&#8221; It sounds like a quick day, but it was a lot of walking and more of a history lesson rather than sightseeing.<\/p>\n<p>Also, we saw Saint Valentine\u2019s remains (skull) in a church. We also went to the underground part of the church where there was an ancient worship area for the god, Mithra.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DSC00855.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2612\" alt=\"DSC00855\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DSC00855-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DSC00893.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2614\" alt=\"DSC00893\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DSC00893-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t say that I want to go home in the slightest, but some downtime would be perfect!
