  • by Sarita76
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: Castel Sant'Angelo was built by the Emperor Hadrian (117-138) as a Mausoleum.
    It became a fortress with the Emperor Aurelian.
    In 1277 the Pope Nicholas II connected the Castle to the Vatican through the famous corridor. So the Popes used it as a fortress and as a prison and a place for torture.

  • by Sarita76
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: The bridge called Ponte Cavour was built in 1902, named under Camillo Benso Conte di Cavour. The bridge was meant to replace Ponte Ripetta, the bridge which had been demolished, along with the Ripetta river port.

    Ponte Cavour links Piazza Cavour to Via Ripetta, the heart of Rome.

  • Rome Trevi Fountain
  • Rome- Trevi Fountain
  • by Sarita76
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: There's not much to say about this super super famous fountain... It's too famous to add something new and original to its story, so I will just refer the most frequent comments I've heard from tourists and friends when finally seeing the fountain... "Wow, it's so big, while the square is so tiny!!!" or "It's amazing how you can find such a wonderful masterpiece around the corner...". :-)

  • Palace of Montecitorio by night
  • by Sarita76
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: Originally designed by Bernini, the Palace was completed by Innocentius XII to host the Tribunal.
    Montecitorio is almost untouched and it is now used by Camera dei Deputati, one of the two Chambers of the Italian Parliament. In front of Montecitorio you can find the remains of a column erected in honour of Antoninus Pius and his wife Annia Faustina.
