Not far from the Vatican is Castel Sant'Angelo. Castel Sant'Angelo was originally a mausoleum built on the banks of the Tiber River, designed and directed by Emperor Hadrian, the Roman emperor of the 2nd century, and has been transformed into a national museum. In fact, it's good to walk around Rome casually, three steps to one monument, five steps to one square.

The Ponte Sant'Angelo in front of Castel Sant'Angelo is an ancient Roman bridge and is also known as the most beautiful bridge over the Tiber.

The statues of the angels on the Ponte Sant'Angelo were designed by Bernini, the two closest to the Castel Sant'Angelo were carved by him himself, and the rest were done by his apprentices.

Next up is Piazza Navona, which is not far away.

Piazza Navona is known as the most beautiful square in Rome, with festivals and performances taking place throughout the year, and is one of the most popular meeting places for the citizens of Rome, surrounded by open-air cafes and ice cream parlors.

The three fountains that gradually picked up in the square raised the greatness of the square to an unprecedented height, and it is not the case that Rome was built in a day. This is the Poseidon Fountain at the northern end. Poseidon is wrestling with an octopus and can see a large octopus wrapped around his feet.

"Come on, kill it and you can eat grilled octopus......," Zhang Feng said.

The well-known fountain of the four rivers in the middle, which was designed by Bernini, represents the Danube, the Nile, the Ganges and the Prada River, the figure representing the Nile has a turban on its head, which represents anyone who did not know the source of the Nile at that time, and the horse in front of the Ganges statue is a hint of the Buddha's friendship, and everyone's design has its symbolic meaning.

The Moorish Fountain at the south end corresponds to the Poseidon Fountain at the north end. Spouting around are four male mermaids, the sons of Poseidon and the Queen of the Sea. It turned out that the fountain was Triton spitting water. Later, Bernini added the Moors in the middle, and in the middle was the only one who didn't squirt water with his mouth haha.

Take a closer look at Zhang Feng and find that he is actually quite happy.

Piazza Navona is like a big body, with paintings, performance art, magic, everything in the square.

Zhang Feng continued to walk, walk, walk.

Campo de' Fiori, close to Piazza Navona. In the past, it was the place where the Roman court burned those who were executed at the stake. The Italian philosopher Bruno was martyred here for insisting on the "heliocentric theory", and now the statue of Bruno stands in the center of the square. Now Flower Square is an open-air market that sells flowers and all kinds of dishes, and there are no huge tour groups here, but mostly locals.

Not long after leaving, Zhang Feng saw the Mr. Bruno who was blowing too much.

Speaking of Italian TABACCHI, the name is a tobacco store, but in fact, this is an Italian convenience store. Drinks, food, and even bus tickets can be bought here.

Rome at night. In fact, all the shops in Italy are closed at 8 o'clock, saying that it is 8 o'clock, but in fact, it is no longer open at 7:30 o'clock. And he is very resistant to overtime, saying that he will close at eight o'clock, and he will not sell it even if he makes money when he comes in one minute late. In fact, there are only two metro lines in Rome, and many times the bus has to come in handy, and the view of Piazza Venezia from the window of the car comes in handy.

Zhang Feng arrived at a bus transfer station, no matter how he waited for the next bus to come, the public transfer was indeed a bit unreliable, and he wandered around the neighborhood. The low-sugar little black on the bench at the bus station sells some selfie sticks, headphones, power banks, etc., and I went up and glanced at it twice, which should be produced by my Greater China.

Wandering around, Zhang Feng met a Chinese restaurant on the road, and ate decisively, the food was not photographed, although the plating was not too beautiful, but as long as I could eat the taste of China, I felt very happy.

The TV in the corner is playing CCTV4.

Looking at the crooked nuts ordering Chinese food at the next table, Zhang Feng was still a little curious, obviously his face was full of confusion.

Finally, Zhang Feng took the tram back to the hotel, and there was a ROMA PASS to go up and swipe it directly.

In order to reach the summit of St. Peter's Church, Zhang Feng set off early in the morning.

Looking at the wild wind of the Rome subway station, Zhang Feng was in a very good mood.

Before reaching the top, you will pass through the inner ring corridor at the height of Jiaotang, which is 45 meters above the ground, specially for visitors to see the dome and interior of Jiaotang, and the murals on the dome are all stories of the Bible.

Looking at the interior of St. Peter's Church from a high vantage point, the circle at the end is the Holy See of St. Peter, which is a huge bronze sculpture group, named the glory of the Holy See, and is also Bernini's masterpiece.

The dome of St. Peter's Church is actually better looking at the Church of the Lady of the Hundred Flowers in Florence.

Climbing to the dome of St. Peter's Church, you can finally see the keyhole-shaped St. Peter's Square, which symbolizes the key to open the door to heaven, and it is very magnificent.

The square is more than 340 meters long and 280 meters wide, and can accommodate up to 500,000 people. The square is slightly oval in shape, surrounded by two semicircular marble colonnades on both sides, forming three magnificent corridors, the square is stacked along the axis, and the entrance street, St. Peter's Church is located on the central axis. Standing on such a magnificent square, even if you are not a disciple, you will be shocked by its momentum.

The Vatican Museums on the side can be seen.

At the end of the summit, Zhang Feng came down and saw a dense queue of people, and it is strongly recommended that those who want to reach the summit must be early, which can definitely save a lot of queuing time.

St. Peter's Square was personally supervised by the world-famous architect Bernini, and in the center is the obelisk that Caligula brought back to Rome from Heliopolis in ancient Greece, and the top of this obelisk is said to contain Caesar's ashes in the copper ball.

The Colosseum of Rome is one of Rome's landmarks.

This behemoth has a four-story structure and is the ancestor of the current gymnasium-like building. The Colosseum is a four-storey structure, with three different Greek standard columns combined with round arches from bottom to top, while the top floor has only square windows. After several earthquakes, only the north side of the façade is still intact.

Zhang Feng's ROMA PASS is used here, directly skipping the queue of people, and there is a special passage.

The painting near the entrance restores the lively scene of the Colosseum's past.

The Colosseum can accommodate up to 90,000 people, and the center of the arena is a gladiatorial platform, 86 meters long and 63 meters wide, which is actually oval. The upper floor is the common people's stand, the lower floor is the rich area and the aristocratic area, and the middle is the performance area.

From this point of view, the Colosseum looks like it has been cut off by a huge axe. In the fifteenth century, it was once used as a quarry to support the construction of the court. It was not until the middle of the eighteenth century that the long-suffering Colosseum was finally declared a sacred place by the Jiao Ting and re-protected.
