Jom Jalan-Jalan: Rome, Italy (Part 2)

Hari ni kitorang ke Camping site lagi satu tapi masih di Italy. Perjalanan lama jugak dan akhirnya sampai lah. Nama nya Camping site Tiber. Tempat utama nak pergi sini ialah Rome !!

Jom layan dulu pemandangan camping site sini.

Besar camping site nie. Tapi aku tidoq dalam khemah je la.

Hari pertama di sini lepak2 aje. Tak banyak aktiviti sangat. Esoknye barulah bermula perjalanan kami di kota Rome pulak.

Setelah diberi penerangan terus lah kami ke Train station Prima Porta. Buruk gile seh station nye. Di Rome, handbag, pouch dan wallet perlu lah di jaga rapi coz pickpocket amat lah berleluasa.

Sampai lah kami di Vatican City. Tempat pertama sampai ialah St.Peter's Square. Yang kubah tu namanye St.Peter Basillica. Tempat suci bagi christian la ni. Tengok je la ek. time ni diaorang nye Pope tengah bagi ucapan. punye le penuh dataran. sesak !!!

Ni gambar dari atas, cenggini la rupe nye. Tapi yang ni aku curik dalam google. heheh.

Meh baca sket pasal Vatican City.

Officially in Italian known as Stato della Città del Vaticano (pronounced [ˈstaːto della t͡ʃitˈta del vatiˈkaːno]), is a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome. It has an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of just over 800. This makes Vatican City the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population. The Pope is also the Head of State and Government of the Vatican City State.

Vatican City was established as an independent state in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty, signed by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Gasparri, on behalf of Pope Pius XI and by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy.The treaty spoke of it as a new creation (Preamble and Article III), not as a vestige of the much larger Papal States (756–1870) that had previously encompassed much of central Italy.

Dari sini lepak2 jap then ke Castel Sant'Angelo. dekat je. Ya Rabbi, panas nye bahang siuttt. mesti sunburn lagi la. Jambatan tu nama nye Ponte Sant' Angelo.

Meh baca sikit pasal istana ni;

The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as Castel Sant'Angelo (English: Castle of the Holy Angel), is a towering cylindrical building in Parco Adriano, Rome, Italy. It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The building was later used by the popes as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum.

Dari sini naik bas ke Roma Termini untuk lunch !!. Masing2 lapo.

Perut dah kenyang, jalan la lagi. Antara tempat2 yang dilawati di sini ialah, Collosseum. Atau nama singkatan nya Colleseo. Posing tak hingat, you..

Aku tak masuk dalam ni. Nak masuk boleh, kena bayar sikit.

Meh baca pasal bangunan yang termendous awesome nih.

Located in the archaeological heart of the city of Rome, the Flavian Amphitheatre, or, more commonly, the Colosseum, stands for monumentality and receives daily a large number of visitors attracted by the enchantment of its history and its complex architecture.
Built in the first century CE at the behest of the emperors of the Flavian dynasty, the Colosseum, named after a colossal statue that stood nearby, until the end of the Ancient Age accommodated games of great popular appeal, such as hunts and gladiatorial fights.

Sebelah Colloseo ni, Arch of Constantine. Anak2 dara dan mak2 dara posing, memang tak hingat... haha.

Meh baca sket pasal gerbang ni;

The large arch with 3 archways is almost 26 meters (85 ft) wide and 21 meters (69 ft) high. The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312.
Dedicated in 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, and the only one to make extensive use of spolia, re-using several major reliefs from 2nd century imperial monuments, which give a striking and famous stylistic contrast to the sculpture newly-created for the arch.

Altare della Patria. Tepi jalan je ni. Dari Colloseo terus je ke sini.

Meh baca sket pasal monumen ni;

The 'Altar of the Fatherland' (Altare della Patria) is the largest national monument in Italy and it was inaugurated by King Vittorio Emanuele III during the 50th anniversary of the unification of Italy at the Universal Exhibition on June 4th 1911. The monument was originally designed to commemorate King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy. He was the first king of Italy and was known as the 'Gentleman King' and the 'Father of the Nation'. The monument is dedicated to him and with him the whole Risorgimento (the movement which led to the unification of Italy). For this reason it is often known as the 'Vittoriano'.

Trevi fountain. Hari ni memang hari penat sedunia. Jalan kaki, ayoyo.. kaki den dah capek.

Ramai giler seh. Terpaksa menyelit- nyelit nak amik gambar.

Meh baca mengenai Fountain ni;

The Trevi fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world. It represents the perfect combination of classicism and Baroque style and is situated on one side of the Palazzo Poli in the centre of Rome. The structure is made to look even more imposing due to the tiny square in which it was built and by the numerous narrow streets that you need to follow in order to reach it.

The history of the fountain began many centuries ago, during the time of General Agrippa, son-in-law of the Emperor Augustus. He ordered the construction of an aquaduct through which running water could reach the Pantheon and its thermal baths. According to legend, the original name of the aquaduct, 'Aqua Virgo', was based on the story that the source of the water was found by Roman soldiers with the help of a young girl. As it was built on the intersection of three roads (Trivia), it eventually became known as the Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi).
