Churches and Obelisks

by DanielF - last update: Sep 6, 2002

Ancient Romans must have had a real fascination for the old Egyptian civilisation. At least they brought many obelisks to decorate the squares of the Eternal city. This is a picture of my favorite: lying on the back of an elephant sculpted by BERNINI himself!

Look for the Egyptian obelisks in Rome and you will follow a route along the uncountable and beautiful churches and squares that flourish on the banks of the Tiber.

 It's easy to take beautiful pictures in Rome, but yours exceed the average good ones... and that's so true about the tourist hordes!
