| Did you know that Roman monuments folks hardly ever get to see are sometimes open during the summer? Yes, it's part of the Archeologia d'Estate, Summer Archaeology program in Rome.
Last Friday the Temple of Romulus, located in the Forum of Vespasian, was open for viewing. Like the Pantheon, its interior was preserved when the pagan temple was converted to a Christian church in 527 known as the basilica of Santi Cosma e Damiano.
Eternally Cool has information on the program.
Another aspect of the Archeologia d'Estate is Moon over the Colosseum – Flavian Nights". Pay 15 Euros and you can take a night tour of the Colosseum.
Enjoy Rome at night, if only to avoid the heat. |
