Serie: The East Gate of Avenches

Beneath a cobalt Roman sky, my friend and I soaked in the sheer scale of the Colosseum—tier after tier of sun-blasted arches rising above the labyrinth of corridors where gladiators once waited. Seeing this 2,000-year-old masterpiece in person turned our casual Italian cruise stop into a scene straight from history, etched forever into our travel stories.

This vibrant capture is from an Italian cruise I took with a friend, exploring the rich history of Rome. The image features the majestic Arch of Septimius Severus in the Roman Forum, framed by classical Roman architecture and the striking dome of the Church of Santi Luca e Martina. Bathed in sunlight and backed by clear blue skies, it’s a perfect reminder of the timeless grandeur of Italy.
