This is the front of a fountain in the popular tourist spot, Piazza Navona, in central Rome. This area is filled with restaurants and street vendors, and is a prime location for one of my favourite activities to do on holiday, people watching.

Italian Government Building
Last post I showed a picture of the view from Castel Sant'Angelo looking towards the Italian Government Building; this time, I'm in front of it.
Looking at the Italian Government Building
I was able to take this photograph from one of the many vantage points at the top of Castel Sant'Angelo. This time I was looking southwest towards the Pantheon, which is shown on the left edge, and the Italian government building, the one with the statues on the top.
View from the top of Castel Sant'Angelo
This photograph is the view from the top of Castel Sant'Angelo looking down upon the Tiber river which runs through Rome. The bridge that is shown in the picture is known as the Ponte Vittoria Emanuele II.
St. Peter's Basilica at Mass
This building featured in this photograph is the front of St. Peter's Basilica. I took this photograph from where I was sitting at a Wednesday morning mass in Vatican City during my vacation to Rome.

Ponte Sant'Angelo
This is a photograph of the walking bridge named Ponte Sant'Angelo, that crosses the Tiber River in Rome. The bridge goes straight to Castel Sant'Angelo, an old fortress used by former Popes, and is now a museum. I was on top of the Castel Sant'Angelo when I took this picture. The Ponte Sant'Angelo has ten different sculptures on it, five on each side, all made by 10 different sculptors after being ordered to replace different statues in 1669 by Pope Clement VII.

St. Peter's Basilica at Sunset
This is a photograph I took during my visit to Rome. It was around 7 PM and I was at the top of Castel Sant'Angelo when the sun began to set behind Vatican City, casting this wonderful setting for my picture.
