September 18, 2008 / posted in category : europe
The Rome city had many historic buildings with an exotic architecture. The center of the Catholic world, St Peter’s Basilica located in Vatican, inside the city. To enter this building, you can take an elevator up to the roof and doing a 323 steps climb to the top of the dome for a very exotic view. Only 6 Euro to go up and down by the elevator for an hour. During the climb and before reaching the very top, you will find yourself standing on the inside of the dome, looking down into the Basilica itself. So amazing!

Don’t forget to visit the historical building, Colosseum. This building has a semicircular shape and made from the heap of stone. Previously this place built in order to hold various performances of art, including music and the gladiator. The unique thing is, when we stand in the middle of the stage and sing or shout something, our voice will be able to be heard by all the spectator, without using a loudspeaker. Because of that this place was also mentioned amphitheatre.

Trip to Rome, was not yet complete if we pass the vicinity of Rome, Pompeii. Indeed this city was destroyed. At this time remained at ruins then. This city was destroyed because of the eruption of the Vesuvius Mountain in the year 79 Century. The city was lost for 1,600 years because of this eruption. At this time the Pompeii city was one of the sites of the UNESCO world tour.
