1. Explore ancient ruins

📍 The Colosseum

One of Rome's most famous landmarks, the Colosseum was built in 70-80 AD as a venue for gladiatorial fights and performances in the ancient Roman Empire. When we entered the Colosseum, there were ruins all over our eyes. But remember, this is 2,000 years old, and it's the largest ancient structure on the surface of the world today.

The Colosseum has a total of more than 50,000 seats, which means that the stadium could have held 50,000 people before 2000. There are very few buildings that have lasted more than 2000 years and have largely retained their original appearance.

The Forum was the political, commercial and religious center of ancient Rome. It is dotted with ancient ruins, such as the Temple of Caesar, the Temple of Saturnus and the Arch of Titus. Every stone in the Piazza bears witness to the glorious history of Rome.

Just a few minutes away from the Colosseum, the important ancient Roman ruins are connected with the Paladin Hill complex, which is one of the most beautiful places in my trip to Rome, and the visual effects are even more stunning!

Here has long been broken walls, there is no complete building, but the towering colonnade, the strong triumphal arch, still for the old Roman Empire to adhere to, still can see the glory of the past, awesome. Some vibrant grass grew up between the broken walls, as if everything was telling the changing times.

📍 Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona is one of the most beautiful squares in Rome, famous for its three ornate fountains and surrounded by many cafes and restaurants.

One of the most famous is the landmark building of the square - the Four Rivers fountain located in the center of the square. This "four rivers" comes from the allusion in the Old Testament of the Bible, according to the legend that there were four surging rivers in the Garden of Eden, which were known at that time as the Danube, the Nile, the Platte and the Ganges. The four great rivers also symbolize the four continents in which they are located: Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.

At the top of the steps is the Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity, and the broken boat fountain below the steps is the work of the Baroque era sculptor Benigni.

The fountain is famous for the numerous films that have been made around the Trevi Fountain, including La Dolce Vita, Angels & Demons and Roman Holiday. Many people call it the Roman Trevi Fountain, and legend has it that throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain will make them return to the city. If you throw three, you will be on the way to love.
