Tuesday, February 22
Here are the rest of the pictures from tuesday...
(I started to post them ahem... months ago)
Passetto di Borgo -
an elevated passage that links the Vatican City with the Castel Sant'Angelo.
Some popes used it to flee from troops invading the city 500 years ago.
Castel Sant'Angelo or
Hadrian's mausoleum. It's a museum now.
Ponte Sant'Angelo
Back on our way to the inner city
This is my favourite picture!
Welcome to Piazza Navona! There is a little demonstration going on...
A beautiful place full of art...
This portraitist was amazing...
Not far from Piazza Navona you'll find the famous
Pantheon
It is gigantic... very impressing.
Maybe the hole in its dome is even more famous?
And not very far from the Pantheon -
Santa Maria sopra Minerva
I LOVE this elephant!
Italian artist Bernini created it after a real elephant which practically travelled whole Europe in 17th century!
Largo di Torre Argentina -
old remains in the midst of city life!
It is also the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary - a no-kill shelter for homeless cats!!
It's so cute that there's even a website for it!
On our way to....
(A funny relocation service!)
... Sant'Ignazio
The fresco by Andrea Pozzo - it's full of illusions!
What a great artist.
That's it for tuesday!
The pics are so lovely Eva, i would like to go to Rome as well!I especially like the pics of the fountain, it always makes us remeber to La dolce vita, right?:)
