Images of Rome

Just a few:


St Peter's Square and basilica.

And St Peter's Square from the top of the dome.

Gorgeous views, lovely day in June 2014.

Rome - the eternal city

I've just been to Rome on holiday and seen sights as magnificent as the Colosseum (above). It's 1,934 years old.
Do you think Wembley Stadium will still be standing in 3941? The last incarnation lasted less than 80 years!

And what about the Pantheon?

St Paul's has lasted since it was finished in 1720 - that's getting on for 300 years. But the Pantheon in Rome is 1,888 years old.

Rome - the eternal city - marvellous. If Wembley lasts till 3941 the Colosseum will be 3,861 years old!
