On top of an old castle with the Vatican in the distance.

The seafood all came with their skeletons!

The floor has been partially re-created to show what it looked like when in use.

Pathways below the (now-gone) floor of the Coliseum - this is where the animals were and when the Coliseum was rediscovered there was a beautiful garden here. Researchers believe the seeds of plants and flowers were on the animals and flourished once the Coliseum ceased to be used.

Inside the Coliseum ... remarkably similar to Gladiator : )

Alter at St. Peter's Basilica where midnight mass is performed Christmas Eve.

The ceiling in the Vatican museums ... on our way to see the Sistine Chapel on our guided tour.

The cafe across from the Vatican entrance sells beer in carry-alls with the Pope's face on them!

The Pantheon has been standing since before 125 AD
