Landmarks, Rome, Italy

Some famous and not so famous Roman landmarks. Enjoy!


Villa Borghese - a beautiful spot for a picnic


View of Vittorio Emanuele II monument from the Forum

Vittorio Emanuele II Monument


Traiana Column, you can see the casts of this in the amazing Victorian cast courts in the V&A



Piazza Navona, we had wonderful ice-cream here.
I've never tasted such rich, smooth chocolate ice-cream.


Santa Maria in Trastevere: a rather expensive but pretty spot to sit and have a beer, about £7 for a pint.


Fonte Acqua Paola in Trastevere



San Pietro in Vaticano

The Trevi fountain, it was crazy busy here and we didn't visit till 11pm!


Spanish Steps, shortly after going up and down the steps there was a power cut across the whole piazza. The restaurant we went to was in the dark too, but only for 10mins or so! Mental.

Campidoglio

Tempio di Portuno

Sun setting on a building

Piazza della Minerva, with a view to the Pantheon behind
