- Rome, the ethernal city - (1)
Rome is one of the most important cities in the history of mankind, exerting a unique influence on the development of the history and culture of Europeans for millennia and the construction of the Western Civilization. Its history spans more than 2500 years, since its legendary foundation in 753 BC. Rome is one of the oldest continually occupied cities in Europe and is known as "The Eternal City", an idea expressed by poets writers of Ancient Rome. In the ancient world, it was successively the capital of the Kingdom of Rome, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire and is considered one of the cradles of Western civilization. (From Wikipedia)
This being my second visit to Rome, I made a point of not taking a guided tour this time, but simply letting the busy streets take me to the places previously visited, admiring and enchanting me with the unexpected architectural details.
Basilica di San Pietro at the blue hour.
No tripod, sorry for the poor sharpness.
