In the center of the square stands the Flaminius obelisk (from the era of Ramses II) transferred from the Circus Maximus. Two semicircles of the square are decorated with fountains: Neptune and two tritons, and the second is the Goddess Roma.

The fountain is interesting because water enters it from Lake Bracciano through Trajan's Aqueduct built back in 109. The design of the fountain is made according to the type of triumphal arches of the Roman Forum.

Janiculum terrace - Rome in the palm of your hand.
The monument stands on top of Janiculum. The monument itself is of purely academic interest, but one of the most impressive panoramas of the city opens from the terrace where it is located.

I set aside a whole day for the Louvre. I noted that I wanted to see (and I wanted to see as much as possible), I didn’t go to some departments at all, and then I barely managed to meet it.

Roman National Museum
It is housed in four different buildings. We only went to Palazzo Maximo. I advise for lovers of ancient Roman civilization. The museum is very large, 4.5 hours is the main thing to see.

Palazzo and Spada Gallery
Even if you do not have the opportunity to get into the gallery itself, the facade of the palazzo itself deserves attention. I recommend leaving for inspection on subsequent visits to Rome.

This basilica is one of the most beloved by the Romans; the chains with which the Apostle Peter was chained to prison for preaching about Christ are kept here. Well, for fans of Michelangelo - an extraordinary figure of Moses.
