Ancient Rome is Everywhere



























































When you walk through Rome you constantly discover hidden piazas, narrow streets with interesting shops and the occasional ruin that goes back thousands of years.

While my parents were in town we were able to visit the Pantheon. The Pantheon, meaning "the temple of the Gods" dates back to 125 AD and is the oldest intact domed structure in Rome. There is an opening (pictured a.bove) in the center of the dome of the Pantheon called "the great eye".

Here are a few pictures of my visits to ruins within Rome and the Pantheon.
