As one of the great monuments of the last Roman Empire, he also imitated the classical architectural style of earlier times, using many decorative reliefs. All the Arc de Triomphes that exist in the world are imitated by Roman Arc de Triomphes. Currently, there are three Arc de Triomphes in Rome. Constantine Arc de Triomphes are more than 200 years later than the construction of the Colosseum.

It is the youngest one among them. It is said that this Arc de Triomphe was not built in one piece, but was dismantled from many places and pieced together. Therefore, although it is extremely grand, it does not have its own unique style. The ancient Roman Colosseum escaped the crowded crowd, and Yun Luo and An Chuyu went deep into the Colosseum again.

From the perspective of the second floor, he is only half covered with wooden boards, and the other half shows the maze-like passages on the lower floor of the arena and the mechanical devices that transport animals and gladiators from cages to the arena. The Colosseum left the Colosseum, and the high temperature of 36 degrees really made Yun Luo and An Chu meet these students from the UK with cool weather very hot.

I silently thought in my heart whether Yunluo was hot or not, but I was already sweating profusely. Sun protection is a must-do homework when going out. For this reason, in addition to applying sunscreen, some of my friends put on sunscreen clothes and put on parasols. Because I knew the secret that I could enter for free with the Colosseum ticket, Yunluo and An Chuyu were tired.

But he also insisted on moving towards Palatino not far from the Colosseum. Palatino was once the most luxurious and magnificent place around ancient Rome. The nobles tried every means to build houses here, and generations of monarchs built increasingly luxurious palaces here. However, after Rome declined, Palatino became increasingly deserted due to disrepair.

Today's Palatine is basically the remains of the palace ruins of Emperor Ditian. This palace is complex in structure and huge in area. It has been the main palace for 300 years. There is a viewing platform here to see the Colosseum and the Arc de Triomphe. It is the highest point, the entrance is relatively hidden, and you have to climb a mountain. Yunluo and one of the friends decided to go there.

Two people were enjoying the cool under the trees. Paratini Palatini said that the ruins of Paratini were more chaotic than the ruins of the ancient Roman Forum. If there was not enough time, you can skip here directly and visit the ancient Roman ruins next to you. The ruins of Roman (rafom) are the central area of ​​the Roman city in the ancient Roman era, even if they are now in ruins.

It is still very sad. The areas where citizens of the ancient Roman Empire are engaged in activities and sacrifices, the remains of various great temples exist. Both in architecture and archaeology have great significance. The ancient Roman Forum was formed for more than 900 years and is not only the oldest but also the most famous among all squares. The ancient Roman Forum was first formed in the 7th century BC and was originally a burial ground for the Etruscans.

It then expanded into the center of the brilliant glory of the Roman Republic. After the 4th century AD, its important position gradually disappeared until it became a pasture. A large amount of stone and marble were stolen in the Middle Ages. It is worth noting that in order to build new palaces, churches and monuments, the Romans, rather than the invading barbarians, were the culprits of the real demolition of the Roman city.

As people rekindled their old love for all classical things during the Renaissance, the square once again became a place for artists and architects to provide inspiration. In the 18th and 19th centuries AD, people began to systematically excavate the ruins of the square, and the work continued until now. It was noon, the sun shone in the sky, and the temperature had risen to 37 degrees. The friends who were falling clouds had no interest in appreciating historical relics.

In addition, there was no obstruction of trees, Yunluo and An Chuyu showed signs of heatstroke, and they just wanted to evacuate quickly. However, the scenic area was too large and the exit was difficult to find. After several attempts, they finally went out and took a photo. Don’t ask what Yunluo is, because Yunluo has not studied it...

The ancient Roman ruins came out of the scenic spot. Looking around, except for the vast avenue, there were no trace of the restaurant. Because I was going to Piazza Venetian, not far from the ruins in the afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu simply walked towards the direction of the square. Soon they discovered a pizza restaurant. This pizza restaurant was built underground.

Zheng Yunluo and An Chuhui can escape the summer heat. Although Italy is hot later, except for high-end restaurants, ordinary restaurants do not have air conditioning. Let people keep warm. I really admire the Italians' forbearance. Because the pizza restaurant is good, the price is not cheap. Yunluo and An Chuhui were not hungry either.

I ordered two pizza and ate four people, which was enough. I have to admire Yunluo and An Chuyu's spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue. Generally, I have to go shopping for two days in Yunluo and An Chuyu in one day. And it all depends on walking. After resting in the basement pizza restaurant, Yunluo and An Chuyu concentrate and calm down to welcome another round of the scorching sun in Rome.

The first stop, Yunluo and An Chuyu were going to Piazza Venice. On the mobile phone map, there was still some distance. Yunluo and An Chuyu kept walking forward. Not long after walking, they saw a magnificent building on the back of the Roman ruins, which was super eye-catching. Before Yunluo and An Chuyu had time to go over and take photos across the road.

At this time, Yunluo and An Chuyu both fearlessly removed their sunscreen equipment just to take photos with the building. Venice Plaza Venice Plaza took some photos in front of this magnificent building because they were about to rush to Venice Plaza, Yunluo and An Chuyu did not stay for much. At this moment, Yunluo discovered it on the navigation.

Yunluo and An Chuyu are actually located in the famous Venetian Plaza, which is called "Wedding Cake" and "Print" by locals. Looking back at this building, it is indeed very similar. No wonder so many people take photos with him... This "Wedding Cake" is Vitto Ano Memorial Hall.

It is the most beautiful building on Piazza Venice. The memorial was completed to commemorate the unification of Vittorio Emmanuel II and Italy. Today it is the location of the tomb of the nameless soldier, which means you cannot sit anywhere on the monument, and at this time the guards strictly enforce a regulation.

Every year, a military parade is held in the square. It is not far from the Pantheon, and it only takes more than 10 minutes to walk. It was just after noon, so you can still see the mysterious light column of the Pantheon. You should have accelerated your pace, but the streets along the way and various small shops are so attractive that you can't help but stop and appreciate.

Before arriving at the Pantheon, I encountered an interesting thing. At that time, a friend of Yunluo wanted to buy a straw hat from a roadside stall. After choosing, he asked for the price. The owner replied that he was 20 euros. Yunluo and An Chuyu always thought it was very expensive, so the friend replied that he "itstooepen private ve" and then turned around and left. Seeing this, the owner quickly reduced the price to 15 euros. Yunluo and An Chuyu had a clear idea.

It seems that the price is very watery, so I started to continue to price with the store owner. Finally, my friend made a deal for 6 euros and replied to the store owner, "I'm chinese.weknothep day!" So everyone will be more careful in the future. In foreign countries, especially tourist attractions, those who can bargain must be cut because the price is very watery.

The puppy sign unexpectedly appeared on the wall. I don’t know what the sentence below means. Does anyone know? The signboard outside the tavern, wine + love = money? The drinking springs that can be seen everywhere in Rome. In such hot weather, with these cool springs, it is better to save a life than to build a seven-level pagoda. The giant dome (de) of the Pantheon is inlaid with lattices.

There is a circular hole (8.3 meters (29 feet) in the center of the dome. This circular hole is the product of Emperor Hadrian's fantasy, which makes the Pantheon appear solemn. On a clear day, the sun shines through the marble walls in the temple; at night, standing in the temple, you can look up at the sky with starry lights above the circular hole.

At the same time, it is religious - allowing people in the temple to guide the gaze of gods from heaven. The dome (de) is one of the masterpieces in Roman construction projects, with a diameter of 44.4 meters (145 feet) and (longer than the diameter of the large dome in St. Peter's Church). It is equal to the height of the temple.

In order to reduce the overall weight of the dome, coatings of different materials were used from bottom to top. The closer to the dome, the thinner the soil layer, the lighter it was. The bottom was concrete and travertine (7 meters thick), the middle was volcanic travertine, and the top was extremely light pumice stone (just 1 meter thick) was used until the 20th century, and it was the largest cement building he used.

Until 1960, he was the largest independent dome in the world. Yun Luo and An Chuyu sat down in the Pantheon. After reading the introduction, he began to close his eyes and feel the breath here. It was said that it was a feeling, but in fact it was also a rest. Because Yun Luo and An Chuyu were so tired. Every five minutes later, a broadcast would sound in the hall reminding the quiet, but there were too many tourists in the hall.

It is estimated that except for Yunluo and An Chu who were sitting, no one paid attention to it, and it was still a little noisy. The next square was Piazza Navona. It was not very large, but the three fountains on the square were quite famous, all of which were from Renaissance masters. There were 3 fountains in the square from north to south.

The Sea God Fountain (fontanadel hips), the Four Rivers Fountain (fontanadeiquattrofiu fan) and the Moorish Fountain (fontanadei ro), the latter two are designed by Bernini. The Four Rivers Fountain located in the center are the most interesting, and the sculptures symbolize the four paradise rivers (Danube, Nile, Prat and Ganges).

And four corners of the known world (Asia, Africa, Europe and America). In "Angels and Devils", the symbol of the four rivers is "water water". The Nile River in Africa (nile – covers its head with cloth. It is a metaphor for the mysterious source of the Nile River). The head of the statue is covered with a veil, implying that the Europeans at that time were not clear about the source of the Nile River.

Full of mystery. The Ganges River in Asia (ganges-holding a pulp in his left hand) is a burly old man holding a long oar in his hand, sitting sideways, looking into the distance, symbolizing the long water of the Ganges River. The Prat River in America (Sodelaplata). There are some coins around him, symbolizing that the New World is full of huge wealth.

His eyes were staring at the doves on the spire of the square tower, which seemed to indicate that the Catholics would rule America. The Danube (danube – face inward, hands reaching to the obelisk) and his arms faced a shield with St. Peter’s key and triple crown engraved on it, as well as a badge of Innocent X, three lilies and a dove representing the Holy Spirit.

To the west of the square is the church of St. Agnese (chiesadian'agne) with a concave front which is the work of Bernini's biggest competitor Francesco Bolomini. In 304, Saint Agnese, a 13-year-old girl, refused to marry a pagan because she insisted on Christianity and refused to marry a pagan.

Afterwards, people built a small chapel in the place where she died. Now there are many street painters and jugglers gathered in the square, which is very lively. Looking at the surrounding houses, this is the most beautiful Baroque square in Rome. Piazza Navona is the most beautiful square in Rome. Whether it is day or night, it is a natural magnet to attract tourists.

It is also an ideal place for people to spend their hours putting themselves in many cafes. At the same time, they can enjoy the past crowds. The outline of the square is a wide oval, which matches the shape of the Arena of Argonaris. Gr ice cream can be seen everywhere in Rome, with a rich milky aroma, and a "limited version" will be launched every month.

Yunluo has eaten this restaurant in Italy because it is really delicious. From Piazza Navona to Piazza Spain, you usually need to take a bus to get there, and there is no direct subway. In order to determine the location of the bus stop, Yunluo and Anchu encountered a tourist information station near the square and asked about it. They were told that they could walk to it for 20 minutes.

Yunluo looked at the long distance between the two squares on the map, half-believing and half-doubted. At the instigation of his friends, Yunluo and An Chuyu still walked. Although they actually walked for a long time in the end, Yunluo and An Chuyu stopped and visited many small shops, and were not so tired. Not long after, they walked to viacondotti Street, the most prosperous commercial street near Plaza Spain.

Luxury brands and flagship stores of big brands are here. Even the stores started by Bulgari Jewelry are nearby. High street brands are also available. For Yunluo and Anchu meet poor students, they will automatically enter cheap high street brands like Zara. Birds of birds of feathers flock together. Plaza Spain is at the end of the shopping sister, and there are not many highlights.

But for women, before walking across the steps, look at the boat-shaped fountain (baraia) below the steps, which was designed by Old Benini. The most famous attraction on the square is the Spanish Stone Steps. Its official name is the Trinity Mountain Steps, which consists of two spectacular stairs. The name of the Spanish Square and the Stone Steps is taken from the Spanish Palace of the same name.

After eating ice cream on the steps of Piazza de Piazza de Español, Audrey Hepburn became a household name attraction, and today it is still the same. A small fountain, a boat-shaped fountain, is built at the lowest point of the stone steps. This fountain is named after a half-hidden small boat in the center, and water slowly overflows around the hull.

There are always people playing guitars in front of the fountain or taking photos, which is a lively scene. This fountain is the work of Bernini's father. The creativity comes from a dam breaking of the Tevere River, and a small boat was pushed here by the water. Above the Spanish steps are the Church of the Three Holy One and the Ancient Egyptian obelisk, which overlooks the entire square.

It is said that this church was built by King Louis XII of France and has the same name as the Gothic style church in southern France. The obelisk on the front was built by Pope Pius VI in the 18th century, and was used as a signpost for the tour guide. When we walked here, Yun Luo and An had a day of encounter with Rome, and it came to an end.

Go back to the hotel to rectify and prepare for tomorrow's Vatican trip! The first day of the trip to Rome generally reflects that it is too tired. The next day, Yunluo and An Chuyu set off a little later. They planned to take Metro Line A to directly go to St. Peter's Church Station, but unexpectedly, they bought a ticket and entered the station. A staff member signaled Yunluo and An Chuyu because there were too many people taking the bus at the subway station.

Let Yunluo and An Chuyu take the bus. Yunluo and An Chuyu were panicked for a moment because Yunluo and An Chuyu did not check the way to take the bus. Fortunately, they left the subway station. Next to it was the main bus station, searching in rows, but Yunluo and An Chuyu found the bus to the Vatican, which were 64 and 40 respectively, with two lines next to each other.

Because there were too many people in line, Yunluo and An Chuyu were still queuing in pairs, Yunluo and Minyi were waiting for 64, and the other two were waiting at 40. Not long after, a 64 drove. Looking at the waiting crowd, Yunluo and An Chuyu were eager to try, Yunluo and An Chuyu quickly called on the other two friends to get on the bus. Taking this car was like squeezing domestic buses.

Even more spectacular, Yunluo just walked from the front door of the car to the back door, and the seats of the car were full. Fortunately, Yunluo's friends all wisely grabbed the seats. Yunluo stood in a high empty seat and could also sit on the beam, which was also good. By the way, the public transportation situation in Rome is really worrying, and it is like this every day during peak season.

It seems that walking is the most reliable. Half an hour later, the bus passed through Rome's mother river Taihe, and the Vatican was near. After getting off the bus and walking for about 10 minutes, Yunluo and An Chuhui arrived at St. Peter's Square. St. Peter's Square was designed and supervised by Italian genius architect Bernini. Bernini has mentioned it many times before.

He has always advocated the exaggerated and gorgeous Baroque architectural design style. The square looks like a giant key, so it is known as the "key of heaven". In such a beautiful square, there are many discordant factors. I have heard of it. There are many wild tour guides who can attract customers in the square, reselling second-hand high-priced tickets. Yun Luo and An Chuyu just arrived at the square.
