This is a circle of carved stone of human head, placed in Vista a temple front porch end wall stone block doesn't, is the Church in order to cover the walls of the ancient a rotten Monster masks of plane framed on the wall. When the movie "Roman holiday" Director with a mysterious legends "will hand into its mouth, if you do not speak the truth, it will bite you hand", discover a piece of slate and name it as "mouth of truth." As the movie starts playing, this slate has become known, classic attractions in Rome, as well as foreign visitors of must-see places. Whenever there is a long line, due to the thousands of hands in the mouth of the "truth" in hand, the big mouth has been grinding very smooth, originally out of the Church was becoming. We arrived at Cosme Ding Notre Dame church, near the Temple of Vista, see the narrow corridor a long long team, has been discharged into the street, people one by one, turn your hand to mouth. We have no time to line up, just quickly glanced at the left.

In the mouth of the "truth" to fight animal farm, we were in the car through the ruins of ancient Rome, ancient Roman ruins and the market square of Venice.

Located in the old town center of Venice square length 130 m, width 75 meters, is the city a few focal point of main street. Central Square stands a huge white building is to remember to complete the reunification of Italy's founding King AI Amanuel II built in remembrance Church, built in 1911.

After the first world war and the Tomb in remembrance Church, remember to Italy of soldiers killed during the independence, theTo also referred to as "the motherland altar".

5 o'clock, we went to one of the eight spots in the world of ancient Rome Colosseum "luomadoushouchang", it's real name is called Buddha Viau amphitheatre (also called Rome great gladiatorial field, Colosseum, Colosseum bucket animal farm).

Animal farm is located in Rome-City Centre, is the largest ancient Rome arenawhere, built in the first century. This oval-shaped buildings long axis 187 m, short axis 155 m, perimeter 527 m, the occupying a land area of approximately 2 million square meters and can accommodate up to 5 million people, is the symbol of the Roman Empire. The whole building is divided into four layers, first to third floors for Arch-type construction, each side of a stone pillar supporting the arch, and pillar are more LYCKSELE-post, Ionian column and Collins-post style, the fourth level of the bias of half pillar decorated the walls. At the bottom of the bucket animal farm has a total of 80 large arches as entrances and a serial number, the audience from the big arches into the venue and then into the arcade of 160 small arches, and then reaches the appropriate seat. It was this design rationality, so there will be congestion chaos phenomenon. Bucket of veterinary field is to hold human performance in ancient Rome, people and animals or people to brutal fighting Bo killed until death. And those crazy ancient Romans from the bloody game excitement and thrill of the original savage. Today's bucket beast field only flattened wall clock, but people still from big, powerful remnant buildings see it to its former glory.

In the South of the veterinary field, the fight for a seat-remember Constantine the great conquered the tyrant Nero in 315 year construction of Rome's largest triumphal arch of Constantine.

In the West of the stand it so many white write gongzhu, but has also been incomplete.

From the bucket of veterinary field out, we visited the Trevi Fountain (also known as teenage fountain).

Fountain of Rome, the variety, the most famous is the Trevi fountain. Trevi is a fork of meaning, and the fountain are located on the third Street intersection, hence its name. Trevi fountain was built in 1762, the central fountain is the God of the statue, a symbol of strength. The two sides of the two statues representing the hippocampus in the calm seas and the waters. The two sides of the statue represents a rich and healthy. Four of the top of the statue represents the seasons. Fountain, also known as the wishing pool, it is only with his back to the fountain, from shoulder above a coin thrown into the sink, you will have the opportunity to visit Rome. Fountain of the surrounding space is small, the visitors many, very crowded. Yellow and black colour of tourists crowded round the pool edge investment coins, cheerful and constantly. As the weather is hot, I stay in the scum didn't just walked into the small Street Cafe, a taste of Italy's coffee and ice cream. I have not, because I think he was never again to Rome.

The final program is still visit the guided tour free of spots na NGA fairy Fountain (also translated to Nai yadi fountain) and Angeli Kunstverein.

These two spots are in Republic square. The circle in the center of the square is built in 1901, surrounded by four small fairy five round pool large fountain.

External walls of the monuments for facades, internal use of bathing in the spectacular space to build, is a magical ruins of masterpiece. The Church is extremely simple, and the appearance of the Interior is gorgeous, with many avant-garde works, Rome's Meridian in the Church. Relative to the other Church, where the arts and Sciences-atmosphere more than religious atmosphere.
