Can't help seeing

I wasn't going to, but I guess I had to take these snaps.
+ The oval Colosseum is the largest amphitheater in the world. Measuring 189m long, 156m wide and 50m high (about the height of a 12 storey building), it had 80 entrances and seated up to 50,000 spectators who attended for free, drinks and food included. Built between 72 A.D and 80 A.D under the Emperor Vespasian, the first games were held by his son Titus in 80 A.D,running for 100 days straight. They killed up to 10,000 animals including humans daily.

+ the Trevi fountain dates back to the construction of the Aqua Virgo Aqueduct in 19 B.C. It’s said that the Aqua Virgo, or Virgin Waters, is named in honor of a young Roman girl who led thirsty soldiers to the source of the spring to drink. The fountain was built at the end point of the aqueduct, at the junction of three roads. These three streets (tre vie) give the Trevi Fountain its name, the Three Street Fountain.
The present fountain was finished in 1762 standing 85 feet tall and 65 feet wide. With water pumping out of multiple sources and the large pool in front, the fountain recycles about 2,824,800 cubic feet of water per day. It was financed by money earned from the reintroduction of the lotto. (The first winning numbers: 56, 11, 54, 18 and 6.)

+ The restaurant was much more attractive though.Les mer
