Constantine, a classic monument constructed from parts of
earlier buildings, and the Palatine Hill the most
central of the seven hills of Rome and one of the most
ancient parts of the city. The view from the top is to one
side the magnificent Roman Forum and the other the Circus Maximus,an ancient hippodrome and mass
entertainment site where deadly chariot races would take
place. Then on to the Pantheon, the most unique and
well-preserved of the ancient Roman monuments. This
remarkable structure is a perfect sphere and its excellent
state is owed to it's becoming a Christian Church in the 7th
century. Wonder at the colossal granite Corinthian Columns
and the sheer magnitude of a building that looks more like
the work of god than of man. Raphael, the famous Renaissance
painter and Vittorio Emmanuel II, the King of united Rome
are both buried here.
