Rome Day 4


Visited the Roman Forum in the morning.   Walked through this ancient part of Rome.  Most of the remains from the buildings in the pictures below are from the first and second centuries.  Impressive architecture and buildings from 1900+ years ago.

 


After lunch we had a special tour of the Coliseum.  We went inside the Coliseum and got to see all levels.  The Coliseum was built in 80AD.  Roman Gladiators; men vs. animals; circus shows; all were performed here. 

 

Back out at night to see the Forum and Vittorio Emmanuel Monument.
