Santi Michele e Magno

The national church of the Netherlands in Rome, Santi Michele e Magno has been extraterritorial Vatican property since 1929 and was only granted to the Dutch Catholic community in 1989. A steep 33-step marble Scala Santa — a devotional copy of the Lateran original — climbs into the Our Lady of Sevenwouden chapel.
