This image depicts the facade and entrance of the Church of Sant'Alfonso di Liguori all'Esquilino, also known as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, located at Via Merulana, 26, in Rome, Italy. The church exhibits Neo-Gothic architectural elements, constructed with light-colored brick and decorative stone accents. A wide set of stone steps leads up to the main entrance, which features a central arched portal adorned with sculpted figures and an ornate tympanum. Above this, a large circular rose window with intricate tracery is surmounted by a statue. The building culminates in a triangular pediment topped with a cross and a coat of arms, bearing partially visible Latin inscription "COPIOSA APUD." In the foreground, two imposing square stone pillars flank an open, black wrought-iron gate. Each pillar is constructed from rough-hewn, light-colored stone blocks and is topped with a large, dark, octagonal street lamp. The left pillar displays two brass plaques in Italian: "CHIESA DI SANT'ALFONSO / SANTUARIO MADONNA / DEL PERPETUO SOCCORSO" and "ICONA ORIGINALE / DEL XIV SECOLO." The right pillar features identical plaques in English: "CHURCH OF SAINT ALPHONSUS / SHRINE OF OUR LADY / OF PERPETUAL HELP" and "ORIGINAL ICON / OF THE 14TH CENTURY." The number "26" is carved into the upper portion of the right pillar. On the dark cobblestone pavement to the right of the open gate, a woman is seated, leaning against the right pillar. She wears a light-colored long-sleeved top, a long, patterned skirt in gold and purple, and a white headscarf with colorful patterns. Her feet appear bare. She holds an open magazine or book with both hands and has a red plastic cup beside her right hand. A white plastic bag containing unidentified items rests on the ground to her right. The woman is looking towards the viewer with a neutral expression. The sky above is blue with scattered white cumulus clouds, indicating daytime conditions.
