I moved to the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, but because of my dressing reasons, I didn't go in to visit. The nun was also crazy about ordering leather goods markets for a long time and then at the Chinese restaurant last night, a bowl of simple and delicious beef noodles, which was very satisfying for lunch. After lunch, I returned to the hotel to get my luggage and arrived at the train station more than an hour in advance. Florence and Rome are only an hour's train ride away.

We arrived in Rome at about half past the night. The apartment hotel booked by Yunluo is only minutes away from the train station. The same is true. Mapsme smoothly guided the way for Yunluo and Anchu. This is a three-bedroom apartment, clean and tidy, air-conditioned, separate bathroom, and breakfast. The owner is a lovely Italian couple.

Their English was not very good, but they still tried their best to tell Yunluo and An Chuyu in broken English that night that night, and the Pope would also show up (it seemed not to see him in the end). Yunluo and An Chuyu decided not to have supper first, and according to the address he gave Yunluo, they found the church where the party was. This is the Pope.

The Pope has the highest status in the hearts of Catholics in Rome and even the whole world. The Vatican country is ruled by the Pope. There is a building on the street, and residents spontaneously hung religious flags outside the window. The entire street has been closed, and everyone stood quietly on both sides of the street to welcome the arrival of the Pope and the priests and nuns from the world.

Yunluo has never seen so many priests and nuns in his life. It is very spectacular. Not to mention the two thousand, there are at least one thousand priests and nuns. Yunluo and Yunluo both believe in Buddhism, but Yunluo respects all those who believe in and the religions they believe in. In Europe, especially Rome and the Vatican, it is in churches that can be seen everywhere.

In the streets and alleys, the religious atmosphere is very strong. Tonight we also welcomed the third worst diet in Italy. The pizza was grilled black and the pasta was too greasy, especially the smell of lard.

The breakfast is placed on this table, and it is said to be breakfast. In fact, it is just some bread and pastries. Although there are coffee and tea, I don’t know who used the kettle to cook milk. It is full of milk stains. It is dirty. As a world-famous ancient city, Rome, Italy, attracts tourists the most. The Colosseum is the quota of the ancient Roman Empire. Although there are only some ruins left in the Colosseum.

But it is indeed a symbol of ancient Roman history. Whenever you go to a city and the first attraction, Yunluo will always choose what Yunluo wants to go the most, the first stop in Rome. Yunluo undoubtedly chose this Colosseum built by the Roman Empire after conquering Jerusalem in the first year to commemorate the victory. Yunluo did not buy Roman passes.

Yunluo felt that there was no need. After queuing for an hour and receiving the voice interpreter, he finally entered the Colosseum that had stood for thousands of years. Although the architects of the Colosseum are still a mystery, Yunluo and An Chuyun had to be amazed that he created one of the greatest stadiums in history, and its scale and function design made it a model for all similar buildings.

According to historical records, it can accommodate surprising stands inside the Colosseum, divided into four groups from low to high, and the audience seats are divided into different levels and status. On the interior restoration diagram of the Colosseum, the vastness and spectacularity of this project can be seen. But today people can see the image of the stands without a complete stand.

However, although the partition walls that supported the stands were dilapidated, they were very tall, very large, and coincidentally, still amazing about the glory of the past. The favorite entertainment of the Romans was to watch the bloody gladiator scenes. A large number of gladiators were driven to the arena, killing each other, or fighting with wild beasts, and the bloodthirsty noble slave owners were in the bloody sacrifice of the gladiator.

Get a sense of barbarity. Countless animals, fighters and prisoners were buried here. A wild beast died in the celebration of the first hundred days of the opening. It has always been a "show" for about ten thousand people. If it weren't for the endless stream of tourists coming in and out, and standing alone under the towering wall, one would definitely be worried: Who knows whether this guy who has stood for thousands of years would collapse.

What about burying someone under the rubble? Standing on the terrace of the Colosseum, you can see the ancient Roman market opposite. The restaurants near the Colosseum are very expensive. Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to a small shop and saw a piece of pizza with European flavors. Yunluo bought a piece of pizza with different tastes, which was also good. The weather was too hot. There were not many shaded places inside the Colosseum.

Most of the time I was in the outdoors, and Yunluo was almost in heatstroke. After visiting the Colosseum, Yunluo decided to go back to the hotel to take a break, take a shower, and then come out when the sun sets. After taking a shower, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to Plaza de España. This Plaza de España is very ordinary. Students who have watched the movie Luo Holiday should be familiar with this Plaza.

Audrey Hepburn, who was absolutely gorgeous back then, once sat on this step and ate ice cream. Today, this square attracts countless tourists from all over the world every day, sitting on the steps and staring blankly, or looking for the place where Hepburn sat on the ice cream. Yunluo stood, Hepburn once sat on this place, eating ice cream cutely.

Yunluo originally wanted to sit on it, but there were too many tourists waiting in line to take photos, and Yunluo's skirt was not convenient for Yunluo to sit on it. Can anyone tell Yunluo what this is? Is this an ancient Roman market? Yunluo likes to touch those history with his hands. He chose a romantic restaurant on the side of the road, which solved the dinner between Yunluo and An Chuhui.

The taste and service were great, and I finally got rid of the diet nightmare in Florence and the first night in Rome. I didn’t plan to come to the Colosseum again, but I turned here again as I walked. Many people took photos with tripods on the side of the road. The night view was not disappointing. In the Colosseum near the subway entrance, there were a group of handsome men setting up the Kongming lanterns. After watching them put the Kongming lanterns.

Yunluo and An Chuyu also took the subway to return to the hotel to rest. The smallest religious country in the world has neither industry nor agriculture nor natural resources. The fiscal revenue depends entirely on tourism, stamps, real estate rental, Vatican bank profits and contributors. However, because it is the location of the Holy See, the highest authority of the Catholic Church, the Holy See, and has a large population of faith around the world.

Therefore, it has a global influence in politics and culture, and is also the richest country in the world. I have been curious about the Vatican since I was a child, and today I can see it. Today, Yunluo and An first met the Vatican, the country in the middle of the country. This small Catholic country has the largest Catholic church in the world - St. Peter's Basilica.

The total area of ​​St. Peter's Basilica is 10,000 square meters. The main building is meter high and about meter long. It can accommodate up to 10,000 people to pray at the same time. However, you must be neatly dressed and passed security check before you can enter the church. The first thing that catches your eye is the spectacular and majestic St. Peter's Square, which can accommodate 10,000 people. The square is meter long and wide, surrounded by two semicircular corridors.

Each corridor is supported by tall round stone pillars, and there is a statue of a famous saint in the history of the church. The statues are different and lifelike. There are certainly many believers here worship. But more are people who love art. Every day, there are long queues waiting for tourists to enter the cathedral around the round stone pillars.

In the middle of the square is a meter-high Egyptian obelisk, which was erected in the New Year. It is carved from a whole stone. The tall obelisk is like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky. All those who walk into St. Peter's Square are moved by this grand scene. There is a beautiful fountain on both sides of the obelisk. The water drops of the fountain are crystal clear and bright and transparent.

Symbolizes the water of life given to believers by God. The Vatican Guard is composed of Catholics, including famous warriors, non-commissioned officers, officers, and priests. Their dress was designed by the master of art Michelangelo and has been used to this day. In the year, month and day, the army of Charles V of the Carolingian Dynasty baptized Rome, and all the people from other countries in the Vatican Guard fled.

Only the Swiss were stubborn and persistent, and the Swiss soldiers shed their last drop of blood to defend the pope. The Swiss won the trust and appreciation of the pope with their loyalty and courage to their masters. From then on, the Vatican Guard only used the Swiss. The name of the Guard was also changed from "Vatican Guard" to "Swiss Guard" due to time constraints.

Yunluo chose to climb to the top first and then visit the cathedral. The entrance to the summit is on the north side outside the church hall (there is a sign with the words "cupola"), which is not the same entrance as entering the inside of the church. After purchasing the ticket, you can reach the top of the cathedral through a long and narrow circular staircase. You need to climb the steps or buy an elevator ticket, and then climb the steps about halfway.

Climb the stairs to the top, and the elevators to the top. The space of the stairs is relatively narrow and can only accommodate one person through. During the climb, you can see the main hall dome redesigned by the architect Michelangelo in 2009, which is also the last work of the master. The statue of David seen by Yun Luo and An Chuyu in Florence is also the work of the master Michelangelo.

I climbed to the top of the tower with panting and severe oxygen deficiency. Before I could have time to take a break, I was deeply attracted by the spectacular beauty in front of me. Only here can I take a picture of the "key"-shaped St. Peter's Square. Follow this sign to visit the cathedral. The steps down the tower were not clear and loose. Walk into the main hall of St. Peter's Basilica.

I had to be surprised by the place where God lives. It was very close to God. Even though my arms were hung, I felt floating. I kept taking deep breaths to restrain my mood. I was immediately shocked by the high ceiling and the magnificence around me. I could see the unparalleled exquisite murals and decorations. The main hall and the small halls on both sides, between the arches with high and low heights.

There are more than a dozen domes, like a rotating flying saucer in the air. It is becoming more and more tall and wide, and extraordinary. When crossing the road, I quickly pressed the shutter and took these photos. On the way to St. Angel Castle, I met a pair of newcomers. There are also many street artists. How could there be so many "headless people"?

The San Angels Castle Piazza Navona Square is the most beautiful square in Rome. It is a natural magnet for tourists during the day or at night, and it is also a paradise for street artists. The Morro Fountain at the southern end of the square and the Four Rivers Fountain in the center (fontanadeiquattrofiu fans).

The sculptures in the Four Rivers Fountain symbolize the four heavenly rivers (Danube, Nile, Prat and Ganges) and the four corners of the known world (Asia, Africa, Europe and America). Clouds fall in front of each painter's painting stall and find that the painter has the best skills. In less than a minute, a vivid portrait will be painted.

It seemed like a photocopier. Of course, his charges were the most expensive, and his painting skills were worthy of this price. He wanted to draw a portrait of Zhang Yunluo, but he had already ordered too much at that time, so he closed the stall when he said he could order it, but there were still people queuing up behind him, and he thought about it and walked away. There were also many artists who sprayed the on-site with graffiti paint.

Funny artists are indispensable. The subway is always the first choice for travel. Yunluo and An Chuyu need to go from line B to line A, but the electronic screen shows that line A stops at half past. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't know how to go back to the hotel. Fortunately, after getting off the subway, an uncle passenger led Yunluo and An Chuyu to the bus stop and told Yunluo and An Chuyu which station to get off at.

The bus was crowded with tourists, and Yunluo and An Chuyu finally chose to walk home, which was less than a minute away.

At first glance, if I had to do something that was not easy to do when I was a child in the Three Kingdoms, my brother would always say that Rome was not built in one day. This time I came to Rome and felt the profound history of ancient Rome, so that I could understand the meaning of this sentence more deeply. Part of the ruins of ancient Rome. I like this kind of historical relics. I feel it when I look at the ruins of the ruins!

This ancient building is everywhere in Rome. The Church of Our Lady of Cosmetine (Santama Aincosmedian), which is very small and quiet, but it has the world-famous "White of Truth". The mouth of Truth is a human-shaped face, with a nose and eyes, and a big mouth. According to legend, if anyone does not tell the truth, it will bite his hand.

As thousands of hands stretched out in the mouth of the truth, this big mouth has been polished by people's fingers. Now that tourists are here, they are rushing to line up to reach out to the mouth of the truth to take photos. Because there are too many tourists coming here, if you want to take photos here, you often have to queue up for a long queue, basically each person can only stay in front of the attractions for about one minute.

Some staff will organize queues and take photos. This score is famous because of the movie "Theranholidays" starring Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn in 1953. In the film, Gregory Parker pretended to put his hand into the mouth of truth and his palm was bitten off, which scared Audrey Hepburn to the point of being shabby.

The interior of the church is very simple and there are not many tourists. Most churches in Europe do not charge admission tickets, and the daily expenses of the church are entirely due to donations from tourists and believers. Yunluo will give some donations every time he sees some small and simple churches. For each candle, you can choose to light a candle to support this church.

Before entering the church, if your outfit does not meet the regulations or does not have a shawl, the staff will give you a free paper shawl. Yun Luo was unable to enter the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary in Florence. Since then, Yun Luo will always have a scarf to carry with you in his backpack, which will come in handy today. Not far from the mouth of truth.

There is a free attraction, Rose Garden. The moon is the season when roses bloom. There are thousands of roses in this rose garden, which may be a relatively unpopular attraction with not many tourists. Don’t be a “flower-picking thief” and rotate and jump, and the clouds fall non-stop. After coming out of the rose garden, Yunluo follows the map to find the next attraction, "see the Three Kingdoms at a glance."

The detailed address was not provided on the guide, and Yunluo walked around this place for a few times but couldn't find it. After Yunluo insisted, he finally saw a group of people queuing up on a hillside. He was waiting to lie on the door to find out. It was a very unpopular but unique attraction, and it was worth spending time looking for it. Italians have unique designs for keys.

On a small hill, there is a small square with an inconspicuous white door next to it. The keyhole on the door is a glance at the Three Kingdoms, attracting many fans. From the mysterious keyhole, the flower stand near it belongs to the Knights of Malta, and in the distance is St. Peter's Basilica of the Vatican. Between the flower stand and the church is the Roman city.

This glance spanned the three "countries" of the Knights of Malta, Italy and the Vatican. This was the last dinner in Europe and the most unforgettable one. An old uncle who looked like the boss ordered dishes for Yun Luo himself. Yun Luo felt that the meat was too fat and wanted to order another vegetable. Yun Luo raised his hand and asked the waiter for the menu, and the old uncle came over.

He nervously asked Yunluo if there was any problem with the dishes. Yunluo was embarrassed. While waiting for the meal, he ran over to chat with Yunluo and An Chuyu from time to time. Yunluo and An Chuyu talked about China and New Zealand, and took the initiative to take photos of Yunluo and An Chuyu. With his recommendation, Yunluo ordered a slice of eggplant melon and demonstrated that Yunluo drizzled this olive oil on eggplant melon.

After the meal closed, the uncle asked Yunluo if he had some desserts. An Chuyu ordered a cheesecake. Yunluo didn't like sweets but didn't order them, but he asked casually whether this is the most famous tiramisu in Italy or the cheesecake is delicious. He said that they are all delicious. Yunluo thought about it and finally declined. After a while, he met An Chuyu when he met desserts.

He also brought a tiramisu to Yunluo. He said that it was imperfect for a trip that had not tasted Tiramisu in Italy, and he treated him. Finally, the drinks, meals and desserts were just over 200% cheaper. As the boss said, if you haven't tasted Tiramisu in Italy, the trip was imperfect.
