Third thing: Roman Forum


We visited was the Roman Forum, the center of anchient Rome. All the buildings from different time periods in Roman history were dug up. There is this huge area in the middle of the city where they are finding tuns of old buildings.Some buildings are even two buildings on top of each other. We visited an old church that was on top of one of the first Roman collages. There is this big building that we visited that the Catholics hundreds of years ago tried to rip down because they did not want signs of other churches (the Romans worshiped the planet gods). If you look closely at the picture you can see rope marks on the upper part of the columns where they tried to rip them down.
