An arch built by a Caesar of Rome who has been dead for 2000 years.



The Coliseum: 2,000 years old. They say it could hold 60,000 spectators and it could be emptied in 15 minutes...



The Pantheon: more than 2,000 years old, and untouched. A coffered hemispherical concrete dome with an 8 meter oculus.







Papal Monument by Bernini in St. Peter's Basilica-the largest church in Christendom.



Barrel vaulted nave of St. Peters...



Bacchaurandum by Bernini: Made of Copper, it is so heavy it's foundations go deeper than the Papal Crypt under the dome.
