Clemesseum.


Yesterday, we went to the Basilica of Saint Clement.  It is actually a church on a church on a church.  On the top level it was just like any ordinary church in Rome.  On the second level down there were a lot of artefacts like ends and parts of pillars. On the bottom level, which was underground, I found out that there was only a very small community and only males were allowed inside then.

After that, we went to the Colosseum.  It was very big and it looked different to how I expected because the top layer was just stone with square windows, instead of arches like other levels.  On the inside the arena part, most of it was uncovered, and underneath it there were stone rooms where I think they might have kept the lions and bears.  Most of the stone seats were worn off, so it looked like a big slope.

After the Colosseum, we went to a pizza place for lunch.  I got a pizza with slices of hotdogs on it.  It tasted like the best pizza I’ve ever had (obviously)!
