Hi everyone, my name is Haris. I went to Rome, Italy with Valerie and she took this photo of me here to show off to imajica! :P
AAAAAGH! Haris is hijacking my postcards blog again!! *mad* But hmmph, since I received a neat Rome postcard from Valerie, I’ll forgive him. And having said that, I guess I’ll just feature all Rome cards I have gotten so far as well…
From Octabis. Yes, Valerie is so sweet that she sent everyone of GTKY gang a card from Rome! This is a magnificent view of Ponte Sant’Angelo (Bridge of Hadrian) that was constructed during 134-139, and at the back is St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City which was built in 1506. Pilgrims used to use this bridge to reach the basilica.
IT-18537 from Claudia. This is the Fontana del Moro (Fountain of Moro) which is one of the three fountains in the Piazza Navona (Navona Sqaure). It was designed by Giacomo della Porto and built in 1575. This piazza used to be the place where the Romans came to watch games and competitions, and its fountains have been featured in several film scenes.
From Mauclella. This right hand belongs to Costantine, the Emperor of the Roman Empire around year 300. See also his face and foot here.
From Muffins. The famous Colosseum!! This Roman Empire’s largest open-air theater was built in 70-80 AD where 68,000 people could sit inside and 5000 people standing. The Colosseum was used for gladiatorial games and battles, and approximately 500,000 people and over a million wild animals died in the Colosseum games!
From Iside82 with different views of the great Rome. Apart of the Colosseum and the St Peter’s cathedral, seen also here are The White Alton of the Nation (built in 1800) and the Tiberian Isle in the middle of Tevere River.
