HOLY SHIT I have been there and as a student of history I literally shed some tears at its beauty but was kind of also pissed because you could just look outside and see traffic and everything modern. To me it is the closest I will ever get to Rome. But even if I went I would probably be labeled a fanatic or mentally messed up for crying at the beauty of it or be arrested for feeling the architecture . Knowing the history and all the tales and everything would just be to overwhelming. Why I would love to visit I think it would probably be a huge let down for me because I built it up so much in my head. And call me crazy but if a god does exist I would say going would be the closest to get to god. And yes I am not counting churches.
