R is for Rome
2018 #AtoZ Challenge
We’re globetrotting again. This time we’re headed back to Europe and the boot-shaped country, Italy. Our destination is Rome, the capital city.
This ancient city has been around for the better part of 3000 years, being founded in April, 753 BC. That’s old.
Clockwise from top: the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica, Castel Sant’Angelo, Ponte Sant’Angelo, Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon
Rome is also home to the Vatican. Below is St Peter’s Square, where earlier this year a snowball fight took place for the first time during a rare snowfall.
The historic centre of Rome has been been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
