Some years ago Rome's Colosseum was listed as one of the new seven wonders of the world. Located in the hearth of Rome, this important Rome's landmark is a popular tourist destination.
This ancient amphiteather is the main symbol of Imperial Rome.
Yesterday I went to Rome for a visit to the ENT specialist. While I was walking on the way back home I saw that some old residential buildings were built close to the ancient Roman aqueduct dating back over 2000 years 😠
Unfortunately, in early 1900s, local administrators were not aware of the importance of achaelogical sites. Therefore, tourists see residential houses near ancient Roman ruins in some corners of Rome 🤬
Your country is filled with amazing artefacts and human historical subjects. I wish I could document your country through a longer stay if possible. I was last there 12 years ago.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Let me know when you will plan to visit my country.
DeleteThank you for the appreciation :-)
...it's marvelous to see, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you enjoyed it.
DeleteRome's Colosseum is truly a wonder, but Italy is full of them...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos and information.
It's my pleasure to share such historical information, Fernando.
DeleteHave a nice Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm in Rome, I always visit the Colosseum in the evening. The light there is especially beautiful in the evening.
It's a shame that some houses were allowed to be built so close to ancient Roman ruins.
I wish you a very nice evening
That's true, Andrea. There is a magical atmosphere in the evening close to Colosseum. I felt a similar sensation when I visited Wien Stephansdom on the night.
DeleteHave a nice Sunday!
These are great photos Giorgio. I really must come to Italy one day soon. :-D
ReplyDeleteI would be honored to show you some unusual corners of Rome and its surroundings. Thank you for the appreciation, Ananka!
DeleteHave a nice Sunday!
Giorgio, that photo of the Colosseum at night is great!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend, I wish what a good Palm Sunday!
Thank you, Anna :-) Same to you!
DeleteEs una bella ciudad. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThe Roman Colosseum is famous all over the world. Giorgio, thank you for your photos!
ReplyDeleteHope you got on ok at the ENT Dr.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the Colosseum, and it's a shame that people years ago didn't realize how important many buildings were back then.
Beautiful photos. Thank you so much for sharing this journey. ❤️
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing that the Colosseum holds such a powerful place in history as one of the new seven wonders. It's unfortunate, though, that some of Rome’s ancient sites are now surrounded by modern buildings. It’s always disappointing when important historical landmarks aren’t given the respect they deserve. Hopefully, awareness and care for these treasures will grow!
ReplyDeleteI do hope your visit to the ENT Doctor went well.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I visited Florence and Milan a few years ago I have not visited Rome ... which is a shame.
I enjoyed your post and seeing these photographs.
The night-time photograph of the Colosseum is lovely.
Enjoy the coming week.
All the best Jan

Wondeful photos of Rome as always.
ReplyDeleteIt's always mind-blowing to think that something as majestic as the Colosseum has stood the test of time and still draws people from all over the world. Sad to hear that parts of Rome's ancient heritage weren’t properly protected in the past—imagine how incredible those sites would look today if they'd been preserved! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and photo. Hope your ENT visit went well too. Have a great weekend! 😊🌞
ReplyDeleteI was talking to someone recently who has visited Rome over the years and he claims that Rome has become so crowded, so overrun with tourists, it is no longer pleasant to visit, Colosseum or not.
