Arrivederci Roma
Our first extended tour is now over! Thanks to everyone who watched — YouTube stats let me know at least a few of you did — and the few of you who reblogged or Heart’d some of the posts! I hope you all liked the pretty sights as much as I did.
I’ve got about a billion ideas for the next series of video posts but for at least the next week I’m going to go back to pictures. I know it’s easier for some of you to keep up with and doesn’t require more than a few seconds of load time.
If you’re still missing Italia, though, you can always rewatch Ezio’s endeavors here on tumblr through this tag or over on YouTube at this playlist. Thanks again to all of you! Grazie~
Few have scaled even the lofty floors of the Castel Sant’Angelo designed to house and entertain royalty. Fewer still have reached the highest point in Roma, the very top of the massive flagstaff at the peak of the Castel. From here the bravest few have an unsurpassed view of all of Roma!

Situated next to the Vaticano district, Castel Sant’Angelo is an imposing sight made all the more menacing by the number of Papal guard and Borgia soldiers that patrol its grounds. The view here is from the upper Northeastern tower providing a view of the Castel’s upper levels not visible from the public-facing side.

This largely unknown church bares resemblance to San Giovanni Dei Fiorentini… but it’s not! Also, not the place to simply stand about and gawp, lest the patrolling guards motivate you to move on!

In the Southern most reaches of the Antico district are the public baths, Terme di Caracalla. Supplied by the Acqua Antoniniana, the excess water flow can be heard in the background, splashing into a well.

In the Southeastern corner of the Centro district, between Portas Appia and Ostiense is a church high on a hill, decorated for a festive celebration. Any help with the name of this church would be great!

The Pantheon, known as The Temple of all the Gods, is one of the most well known locations in the ancient world. Located in the bustling heart of the Centro district, religious chanting can be heard wafting out of its massive doors and reverberating up its walls and through the oculus, as if reaching directly to the heavens.
