Chapter 322 Hasty ending, head to Paris!

The dilapidated Colosseum is so consistent with Rome, which has a long history. Although it is in ruins, the past glory and bloody past can still be vaguely seen.

Thinking back to the heroic appearance of the gladiators in the past, this is the place where the gladiators fought to the death, and the prisoners on death row fought with the trapped beasts.Although raw and bloody, it is also exciting enough.

From the second floor of the Colosseum, you can view the Arch of Constantine from a distance.This triumphal arch was built in 315 AD to commemorate the unification of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great after defeating Emperor Maxentius.

Although it is not as grand as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the fact is that Napoleon built the Arc de Triomphe in Paris after seeing this Arc de Triomphe.

Zhang Feng came out of the Colosseum and walked along the Arc de Triomphe to reach the Palatine Hill.What we came to was a group of super-large-scale ancient Roman ruins, which was also the heartland of the ancient Roman Empire.

The huge palace with a complex structure is now only ruined walls, but those thick high walls and long-span round arches are still amazing.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Feng came to the legendary place where Romulus and Remus were rescued by the she-wolf. It was also the birthplace of Rome.

Keep walking and shopping, passing through the Palatine Hill, Zhang Feng came to Piazza Venezia not far away.

A small band by the side of the road was singing happily, and Zhang Feng's heart swayed a few times, as a tribute to these people.

Piazza Venezia, where the five streets meet, is also the transportation hub of Rome, and it is easy to go there.From a distance, the square looks like a wedding cake and a typewriter.The square was built to commemorate the unification of Italy and Emmanuel II who contributed to its unification. It is almost located in the geometric center of the city of Rome, and the whole body is a white marble building.

The most eye-catching statue in the square is the statue of Victor Emmanuel II, which looks like a triumphant return and is majestic.

The red, white and green flag of Italy is fluttering under the bright sun, which is very stylish.

Venice Square is very huge. If you want to take a panoramic view of it, you usually have to step back to the high place on the opposite side of the road in front of the square.

Zhang Feng had no plan to climb to the summit, so he took a few photos and headed to Plaza de España and Trevi Fountain.

In the Barberini Square passing by on the bus, there are the famous Triton Fountain and the Bee Fountain on the square. The fountains can only be regarded as small in Zhang Feng’s eyes. The fountain in Dubai is too shocking. Zhang Feng is still there. can not forget.

Not long after, Zhang Feng came to the Plaza de España. The Plaza de España was actually a large staircase. When Zhang Feng arrived, it was being closed for repairs. The fence was a bit distracting.I know this place because of the movie "Roman Holiday" that Zhang Feng watched. Hepburn sat here eating ice cream, which made this place famous. Therefore, we must not underestimate the power of watching movies.

Piazza di Spagna is also one of the busiest neighborhoods in Rome, surrounded by cafes and luxury shops. Zhang Feng found that the traffic here is not much less than that of the Vatican.

The most famous on the square is the broken ship fountain designed by Baroque architect Bernini.A semi-submerged boat is built around the fountain. The water flows into the boat first, then slowly overflows from the outside of the boat and then flows into the pool. Visually, the entire fountain is almost as high as the street, and it feels like a Like a ship about to sink in Plaza de España.

The Trevi Fountain, also known as the Trevi Fountain, was built in 1762, but it is really young compared to many other ancient buildings in Rome.The Wishing Fountain also appeared in the movie "Roman Holiday". Hepburn cut her hair next to the Wishing Fountain, and the popular "Hepburn Hair" was born from then on.

There is also a legend about the wishing pool - as long as the people turn their backs to the wishing pool and throw coins into the pool with their right hand over their left shoulder, they will have the opportunity to visit Rome again. If a couple throws coins into the pool together, their love will last forever.In fact, Zhang Feng thinks that the exchange rate of one euro coin is not very cost-effective, and the one-yuan soft sister coin should have the same effect. Thinking of this, Zhang Feng couldn't help but look at his black card limit, it was really a waste.

Holding a cup of coffee, Zhang Feng came to the Pantheon. The Pantheon is the only surviving building from the Roman Empire. If those medieval churches are considered ancient, the Pantheon is an out-and-out antique.

There is an obelisk in the square directly in front of the Pantheon, and the base of the fountain obelisk is carved with scenes from ancient Roman mythology.

The most amazing thing about the Pantheon is its dome. There is an opening in the middle of the top of the dome. Light is absorbed through the opening and leaves a light spot in the temple, which symbolizes the connection between the temple and the gods.In addition, this ancient miracle is actually free, as long as you keep order and line up, you can come and pay your respects.

The main hall houses the remains of many celebrities and Jiaozong, including Raphael, one of the three masters of the Renaissance, who was buried here.

Walking out of the Pantheon, Zhang Feng felt that the cards that should be played in Rome were basically finished. He let out a sigh of relief. Since it was the last stop, let's start the shopping mode quickly. He decided to send back some things to the fans in China.

The first stop Zhang Feng came to was the official store of the Serie A ROMA team.Zhang Feng just wanted to experience the feeling of walking on the streets of Rome wearing a Totti jersey.

Just come for Totti.There is no doubt that Totti is a great player, with an unruly character, a legendary club record, a touching career, a daunting passion, the confidence to shoulder heavy responsibilities, a resolute and handsome face, perfect~
A corner of the store displays many jerseys of Roma legends, Montella, Kraft, Aldair and so on.

Zhang Feng couldn't wait to change into it in the store. Many people would strike up a conversation while wearing Totti's clothes on the streets of Rome.Some people shouted Totti, Totti from afar, and gave each other thumbs up after they looked at him.

I met such a loving FIAT 500 classic car on the road, and the windows were not closed, so it was parked on the side of the road on purpose for you to visit.

The interior is so aesthetically pleasing, it's not a sense of technology that's popular now, but it's completely like a work of art.

There are bunches of grapes and fine wine hanging on the back of the car...

After casually ending the trip to Italy, Zhang Feng started his next trip to Paris.

"If you were lucky enough to live in Paris when you were young, she will be with you no matter where you go in your life, because Paris is a moving feast" - Hemingway's "Moving Feast"

Before arriving in Paris, Zhang Feng’s impression of Paris was the city of romance, the capital of fashion, and the iron tower... But this trip made Zhang Feng feel that Paris is too inclusive. There are different cultures and races here. Finally, I have a first taste of the Paris that Hemingway said.

Zhang Feng took the train to Paris. When the train left the Italian border, the system made a sound.

System: Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the trip to Italy and getting a chance to draw a lottery. Do you want to draw a lottery now?

"Keep it, I feel like I don't need anything." Zhang Feng said calmly.
