The Pantheon Temple
"For two thousand years the Pantheon has towered over the city's 
historic center"
This massive structure stands in the 
Piazza della Rotonda
Built between  118 & 125 AD

When coming to Rome remember to bring  your 
water bottle...all the water fountains are drinkable 
Roman's encourage this practice

 

Obelisk of Ramesses II

 

This is looking West from the bottom of the steps
Every which way you turn there  is something to see
& thousands of people
surrounding you

 

How it looked when we were there!

 

An old photo in one of the hotels
that we stayed in

The Spanish Steps and the old boat fountain

(I expect this is what the Spanish Steps look like during lockdown)
 La Baracaccia or the old boat is in front of the Spanish steps and was commissioned by
the powerful Barberini family in 1629

Most people are unaware that this water is drinkable
'Fed by one of Rome's great aqueducts, is sits a bit below street level
to increase the water pressure to the region'

 

After the Colosseum and the heat of the day
we went back to the hotel for a snack and a rest
The fun people in our group
were excited to learn that
Alyssa (our guide) had decided to include
some of the following places before the evening festivities

                                    Such as the Spanish Steps, the Parthenon and the Trevi Fountain 

                                      Here are a couple of the fine buildings that we passed during our walk

                                                            Welcome to the Last Night in Rome
