   Trajan's Column

   Located in Trajan's Forum, Rome, the column

   Located in Trajan's Forum, Rome, the column is approximately 30 meters tall, with an additional eight-meter pedestal. Comprising nineteen marble blocks, it weighs 1,110 tons. Bas-reliefs depict the Dacian wars. Innovative techniques include using a tree to separate scenes. Views from the top offer a panorama. Some interpret it as a tribute to a "genocide" against Dacians, but it primarily celebrates the Roman Army and Trajan, not extermination, as Roman wars aimed at economic and cultural expansion.

   Piazza Navona

   Piazza Navona is one of Rome's most celebrated squares, located in the Parione district. Its shape resembles that of ancient stadiums in Ancient Rome, following the plan of the Stadium of Domitian, also known among Italians as Campomarzio. It could accommodate up to 20,000 spectators in the stands and was named "Circo Agonístico" during the time of Emperor Domitian (81-96 AD). The name has evolved from "in agone" to "nagone" and finally to "navone," coincidentally also meaning "large ship" in Italian.

   Pantheon

   The Pantheon is a building in Rome, Italy, commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BC–14 AD) and rebuilt by Hadrian around 126 AD. Its circular plan features a portico with large Corinthian granite columns (eight in the first row and two groups of four in the second) supporting a pediment. A rectangular vestibule connects the portico to the rotunda, covered by a massive coffered concrete dome with a central opening (oculus). Nearly two thousand years after its construction, this dome remains the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circumference are identical at 43.3 meters.

   Trevi Fountain

   The fountain stood at the intersection of three roads, marking the endpoint of the Acqua Vergine, one of Rome's oldest aqueducts. In 19 BC, supposedly aided by a virgin, Roman engineers located a source of pure water just over 22 kilometers from the city (depicted in a sculpture on the fountain today). Water from this source was carried by Rome's smallest aqueduct directly to the baths of Marcus Agrippa, serving the city for over 400 years.

   At the center of the square is the famous Fontana della Barcaccia, a masterpiece from the early Baroque period, sculpted by Pietro Bernini and his son, the renowned Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

   On the right side of the staircase stands the former residence of English poet John Keats, who lived and died there in 1821. Today, it serves as a museum dedicated to his memory and that of his friend Percy Bysshe Shelley, filled with books and mementos of English Romanticism. On the left side is the renowned Babington's Tea Room, founded in 1893.
