| "Il Castel de San Angelo" |
| Used at various points in history as an army barracks, a tomb, a prison and, more recently, a museum, The San Angelo Castle is connected (or used to be, at least) to the Vatican via a very long and very secret tunnel. |

| Yeah, I know these two pictures don't exactly match up. Disposable cameras have some weird convex to the lens, I gather. Anyway, this is roughly the view from a point near the top of the "castle". |
| The Pantheon |
| Burial place of several famous people, including Raphael, the Pantheon is also famous for the 29 foot hole at the top of its domed cieling. It actually rains inside, which I've heard is a pretty awesome sight. |

| As dark as this is, I hope you can make out Raphael's tomb below the statue of the Virgin Mary and young Jesus. There's a coffin in that little domed area behind the glass. |
| The Trevi Fountain |
 |
| Decorating the whole side of this building, the Trevi Fountain is a popular gathering spot for tourists-probably because you can't miss it. Neptune stands in his seashell chariot, watching his wranglers deal with his two hippocamps, one symbolizing calm seas and one symbolizing stormy seas. If you toss a coin over your shoulder and into the fountain, you will supposedly return to Rome at some point in the future. We'll see. |
