Angels Bridge - Ponte Sant'Angelo, Rome - Italy
A great tip about Rome, just before sunset time, take a walk from Piazza Navona to Castel Sant'Angelo walking on Via Del Governo Vecchio, turning right first to Lungotevere Tor di Nona, left to the bridge Umberto I, and left again at Lungotevere Castello and enjoy the sunset from the Ponte Sant'Angelo.
The photos were shooted at sunset time in front of Ponte Sant'Angelo (built in 134 AD) facing the Saint Peter basilique.
The bridge is surrounded with statues of Angels, that's why its nickname is Angels Bridge, I guess.

This is on the walk between the Colosseum and Wedding Cake. Rome really is amazing, its difficult to stop bumping into scenes that take your breath away.
Trevi Fountain - Fontana di Trevi - Rome, Italy.
Water springs eternal in this city, and this iconic fountain is a great testament to that. Even from a distance while walking in the cobblestoned alleys, you can already feel the intensity of the gushing water. It then reaches a nice crescendo as you approach the fountain, making its presence known in a powerful way. It's spellbinding when you see it, especially when you're one of its first visitors.

The Ara Pacis Augustae (Latin, "Altar of Augustan Peace"; commonly shortened to Ara Pacis) is an altar dedicated to the Pax Romana. The monument was commissioned by the Roman Senate to honour Augustus and consecrated on January 30, 9 BC.
Trevi Fountain is the most beautiful fountain in Rome. Measuring some 20 meters in width by 26 meters in height, Trevi Fountain is also the largest fountain in the city.
The origins of the fountain go back to the year 19 B.C., in which period the fountain formed the end of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct. The first fountain was built during the Renaissance, under the direction of Pope Nicholas V.
The final appearance of the Trevi Fountain dates from 1762, when after many years of works at the hand of Nicola Salvi, it was finalized by Giuseppe Pannini.
Interestingly enough, the name of Trevi derives from Tre Vie (three ways), since the fountain was the meeting point of three streets.
