Boston isn’t among the world’s 10 most Instagrammed cities, nor are its sites among the top 10, but it does have several spots that command considerable attention on the social-media photography site.

Below are the 10 most Instagrammed sites in Boston for 2017. Some might prove a surprise, frankly, while most are probably exactly what you guessed.

An extravagant souvenir of time spent abroad, this painting is one of four commissioned by the Duc de Choiseul to commemorate his stay in Rome as the French ambassador to the Vatican. Giovanni Paolo #Pannini painted the duke seated in the center of a fantastic art gallery, surrounded by sculptures by Michelangelo and Bernini. #HeartArt Pictured: "Picture Gallery with Views of Modern Rome" (1757).
