A true open-air museum, Rome has preserved and enriched its beauty over the centuries. Each corner of the streets reveals a treasure, be it ancient, religious, architectural or even gastronomic. All roads lead to Rome, and one should not resist, simply take it and go, enjoy the beauty and admire the eternal city.
Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

This aquaduct has stood the test of time and is still impressive. It looks even better when framed by wisteria.

This is not a before and after picture - this is two Roman copies of the original Greek bronze sculpture Discobolus by Myron, made sometime 450-460 B.C. The sculpture was incredibly popular so a lot of copies of it were made, these two are from the 2nd century A.D. - the one to the left is dated to the reign of emperor Hadrian, and the one to the right is slightly later with a date around 150 A.D This one is the best preserved of all the Roman marble copies out there. These two are on display at Museo Nazionale Romani, in Rome. Others can be found at for example the Vatican Museums and British Museum.
Shot at Backdrop Cove. The backdrop has a reflected picture of a Vatican-like basilica (I blurred and shadowed it out). Together with the lovely hat by COCO Designs. the scene put me in mind of an Audrey Hepburn look. So the title is just the mish mosh of those images in my head.

These were found when excavating the Roman Temple of Mithas. These can be seen at the London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE.
In the Snowdonia national park, 101683 heads away from Roman Bridge station with the 1145 Blaenau Ffestiniog - Llandudno service.
The Snowdon range was unusually cloud free on this fine summer day, which was presumably why I had chosen to drive from Dorset to Snowdonia that morning.
Looking at my records now, managing to drive the 260 miles that morning in time to shoot the 0935 from Blaenau sounds somewhere between heroic and stupid!
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum. (2/26/2019)
Boxford Roman mosaic is a mosaic at Boxford near Newbury, West Berkshire, England, rediscovered during an archaeological dig in August 2017. It dates from the Roman period. The 4th century (AD) mosaic is over 6 metres long. Its central panel is thought to show Bellerophon, at the court of either Iobates or Proteus, battling Chimera.
Anthony Beeson, an expert on Roman mosaics, said it is "without question the most exciting mosaic discovery made in Britain in the last 50 years and must take a premier place amongst those Romano-British works of art that have come down to modern Britons".
The mosaic was uncovered during a community archaeology project, investigating three Roman sites near to the village of Boxford, which was led by the Boxford History Project, the Berkshire Archaeology Research Group and Cotswold Archaeology, which began in 2011. Earlier in 2017, a villa "of modest size" was unearthed at Boxford. The mosaic was found at the southern end of this building. Only one half of the mosaic was uncovered. It was subsequently reburied, to ensure its preservation.
Further archaeology was undertaken in 2019 and an open day for the public occurred on Saturday 31st August 2019,
It will be covered again to preserve it for posterity.

Volubilis to stanowisko archeologiczne niedaleko miasta Meknes. Zachował się tu rozległy kompleks ruin rzymskiego miasta – starożytnej stolicy Mauretanii Tingitana.
Kompleks ruin jest wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

Największy rozkwit miasta miał miejsce w latach 40 - 285. Zostały zbudowane m.in. bazylika, forum, kapitol, łuk Karakalli. Mury miejskie osiągnęły łączną długość 2500 metrów.
W kolejnych stuleciach, pod rządami Arabów rozwijało się nieprzerwanie aż do XVIII wieku, kiedy to sułtan Mulaj Ismail wykorzystał zachowane tu marmury do budowy Meknes.

A bronze sculpture in St Albans, done by Erica Morgan. The work is a relatively recent one - highlighting the city's Roman past.
My actual entry for the year challenge on RogueBricks.de is an Roman tower, standing somewhere at the border of the Roman Empire.
Based on my MOC "All along the Nerdtower" I changed main things on this one, including a base, the fence, figures, ... and it will be also shown on the exhibition Bricking Bavaria 2021 in Friedrichshafen (Germany) end of the week. So it is also showable from all sides :D
I am still in love with the color scheme of the tower, medium nougat and dark orange. Si no change on this.
