Photos of the eternal city, Rome. In images 01 and 02, the 16th-century Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs (Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri), designed by Michelangelo and built over parts of the Baths of Diocletian (these Baths had a capacity of more than 3000 people). In 01, details of the sundial inside the basilica; a little above the centre of the photo in the lower right corner can be seen the hole where sunlight comes in when the sun is at its cenit, projecting its light over the meridian line on the ground. In the lower right corner of 02, one part of the Baths that still remains, but without the original roof, and now is a museum.


En 03, otra parte de las Termas, que actualmente es el Museo Nacional Romano, el cual tiene una colección arqueológica con objetos de los siglos V A.C. al III D.C; también en 03, unos andenes en la estación Termini, muy cerca de las Termas. En 04, una foto nocturna del Coliseo, tomada desde aquí.
