Ailsa’s new travel theme is walls, and so many of my photos have buildings in them, so this challenge called for a bit of restraint, or I’d be posting a gallery of hundreds.
I really loved the Italian architecture when I visited in October 2011, so decided to feature some of the walls I saw there. Click on any image to be taken to the photo gallery.
- The outer walls of the Colosseum in Rome.
- Inner wall of the Colosseum
- Excavations of ancient walls in Rome.
- More excavations.
- Pontificia Studiorum Universitas,
- Restaurant in Rome.
- Ruins of Pompeii
- Exotic mural in a Pompeii brothel
- Another item on the menu.
- The Duomo in Florence.
- Hotel in Florence.
- Apartments in Venice.
- Weathered walls in Venice.
- Apartments along Venice canal by night.
