WHERE I WANT TO GO: ROME, ITALY

ROME!!! The city of ROMANCE!!

I believe that Rome is truly the place to be if you want to have an amazing experience. Wondering around beautiful artefacts and falling in love with the City itself and not just the men and women ;)

Why Rome?

I love reading Mythological books, especially Percy Jackson and the sequel series to it. Mostly because of the greek and roman gods, for some reason i just find them interesting. Not only that but Rome has the most beautiful historical artefacts, even though they’re old but they are still amazingly beautiful.

Roman Gods/Goddesses

I believe there are temples or structure for Roman gods.

The Pantheon

A building which holds respect for ALL gods! Its considered to be one of the best-preserved buildings in rome. I would LOVE to visit the pantheon and see all the roman god’s and goddesses’s statues.

Types of Gods & Goddesses

Jupiter – The King of Gods, he is able to hurl lightning bolts wherever and whenever

Juno – The wife and sister of Jupiter, therefore the Queen, she watched over all the women in Rome.

Neptune – King of the Sea and brother of Jupiter.

Pluto – King of the Underworld and another brother of Jupiter

Mars – God of war and Son of Jupiter

Mercury – Messenger of the gods and Son of Jupiter

Apollo – God of the sun, light and music and Son of Jupiter

Diana – Goddess of the hunt and Apollo’s twin sister

Minerva – Goddess of Wisdom

Venus – Goddess of love and beauty

The Colosseum

The colosseum is an amazing spectacle, which can hold up to apparently 50,000 – 80,000 people! Just amazing!

It was mainly used for gladiatorial contests.

What’s a Gladiator?

I would love to see a gladiator fight. Though i am not one for violence and fighting but i believe it will be an amazing experience to watch a fight. Or if possible i would to try on Gladiator uniform

Trevi Fountain

The Trevi Fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world. It holds it’s own legend.

What’s the Legend?

Legend has it that thirsty Roman soldiers were guided to a source of pure water by a young girl. The discovery of this source of water led to the commission of a construction of an aqueduct leading to the city of Rome. It was name Aqua Virgo (Virgin Waters) in honour of the young girl.

Throw in a coin?

It is believed that if you throw a coin from your right hand over your left shoulder, your wish may come true. I should think of my wish and make sure it comes true when i visit Rome!

What's the country you want to go to because of it's history?
