Recognize this "golden dome"? It is located at The University of Notre Dame. I snapped a few photos while visiting campus a few weeks ago. I am always amazed at all the beautiful architecture and sculpture that the students can enjoy on a daily basis.
This statue is near the famous Grotto.
Isn't she lovely?
Entry to Dillon Hall...My dorm did not have such a grand entrance!
