A entrada monumental do anfiteatro romano de Mérida, construída em alvenaria de pedra e tijolo no século I d.C., servia para acolher os espectadores durante combates de gladiadores e outros espetáculos públicos. Integrado no conjunto arqueológico da antiga cidade de Augusta Emerita, que era a capital da província romana da Lusitânia, este vomitório permitia o acesso ao recinto, projetado para facilitar o fluxo de cerca de 15.000 pessoas. A estrutura mantém os seus elementos arquitetónicos essenciais, incluindo o pavimento original em lajes de pedra e os arcos em tijolo, sendo classificada como Património Mundial pela UNESCO desde 1993, refletindo o programa urbano promovido por Augusto na fundação da colónia.
The monumental entrance of the Roman amphitheater of Mérida, built in stone and brick masonry in the 1st century AD, served to welcome spectators during gladiator fights and other public spectacles. Integrated into the archaeological complex of the ancient city of Augusta Emerita, which was the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania, this vomitorium allowed access to the enclosure, designed to facilitate the flow of about 15,000 people. The structure maintains its essential architectural elements, including the original stone slab floor and brick arches, and has been classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1993, reflecting the urban program promoted by Augustus at the foundation of the colony.

O Anfiteatro Romano de Mérida, inaugurado em 8 a.C. durante o governo do imperador Augusto, fez parte do conjunto monumental de Emerita Augusta, capital da Lusitânia, e destinava-se a combates de gladiadores e outros espetáculos públicos. Com capacidade para 15.000 a 16.000 espetadores, a estrutura oval foi construída aproveitando uma encosta para otimizar custos, utilizando técnicas romanas como o opus caementicium e o revestimento de opus incertum. As bancadas, divididas em três secções conforme a classe social, eram protegidas por um pódio alto de granito. Os vomitórios, corredores em arco, permitiam o acesso e a evacuação rápida do público, inovando na arquitetura romana e influenciando o design de estádios contemporâneos. As ruínas do anfiteatro, juntamente com outros monumentos da cidade, fazem parte do Conjunto Arqueológico de Mérida, classificado como Património Mundial da UNESCO em 1993, evidenciando a riqueza da engenharia romana na Península Ibérica.
The Roman Amphitheater of Mérida, inaugurated in 8 BC during the reign of Emperor Augustus, was part of the monumental complex of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania, and was intended for gladiatorial combats and other public spectacles. With a capacity for 15,000 to 16,000 spectators, the oval structure was built on a hillside to optimize costs, using Roman techniques such as opus caementicium and opus incertum cladding. The stands, divided into three sections according to social class, were protected by a high granite podium. The vomitoria, arched corridors, allowed quick access and evacuation of the public, innovating Roman architecture and influencing the design of contemporary stadiums. The ruins of the amphitheater, along with other monuments in the city, are part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, highlighting the richness of Roman engineering in the Iberian Peninsula.

O Anfiteatro Romano de Mérida, construído por volta de 8 a.C., durante o reinado do imperador Augusto, é um magnífico exemplo da arquitetura e engenharia romanas dedicadas ao entretenimento público. Com capacidade para cerca de 15.000 espetadores, este monumento de planta elíptica, construído em opus caementicium e silhares de granito, acolhia lutas de gladiadores, espetáculos com animais e outros divertimentos populares. A sua estrutura, bem preservada, permite observar a arena central (originalmente coberta de areia), as arquibancadas (cavea) divididas em três sectores (ima, media e summa cavea) que refletem a estratificação social romana, e os acessos (vomitoria). A arena, com 64 por 41 metros, era separada das bancadas por um pódio de 2,5 metros de altura. O Anfiteatro, com o Teatro Romano e outros monumentos de Mérida, integra o Conjunto Arqueológico de Mérida, declarado Património Mundial pela UNESCO em 1993, constituindo um testemunho excecional da antiga Augusta Emerita, capital da província romana da Lusitânia. O seu excelente estado de conservação permite-nos compreender as técnicas construtivas romanas e a vida social, cultural e política do Império Romano na Península Ibérica.
The Roman Amphitheater of Mérida, built around 8 BC, during the reign of Emperor Augustus, is a magnificent example of Roman architecture and engineering dedicated to public entertainment. With capacity for about 15,000 spectators, this elliptical monument, built in opus caementicium and granite ashlars, hosted gladiator fights, shows with animals and other popular amusements. Its well-preserved structure allows us to observe the central arena (originally covered with sand), the bleachers (cavea) divided into three sectors (ima, media and summa cavea) that reflect Roman social stratification, and the accesses (vomitoria). The arena, measuring 64 by 41 meters, was separated from the benches by a 2.5-meter-high podium. The Amphitheater, along with the Roman Theater and other monuments of Mérida, is part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993, constituting an exceptional testimony of the ancient Augusta Emerita, capital of the Roman province of Lusitania. Its excellent state of conservation allows us to understand the Roman construction techniques and the social, cultural and political life of the Roman Empire in the Iberian Peninsula.

“From the dome of St. Peter’s one can see every notable object in Rome. He can see a panorama that is varied, extensive, beautiful to the eye, and more illustrious in history than any other in Europe.” – Mark Twain
The Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican is a church built in the Renaissance style located in Vatican City, the papal enclave that is within the city of Rome.
It was initially planned by Pope Nicholas V and then Pope Julius II to replace the aging Old St. Peter's Basilica, which was built in the 4th century by Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626.
Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and the largest church in the world by interior measure.
