Day 8 (June 14, 2008) : Still at Rome....
|
|
Setelah beberapa jam meronda2 di dalam Colosseum, kami akhirnya akur pada tuntutan masa. Kalau ikutkan hati, memang ler tak puas Tapi, bila kenangkan ada lagi tempat2 lain yang perlu dilawati, kami pun meninggalkan Colosseum dengan hati yang pedih...
Keluar dari Colosseum, kami berhasrat untuk masuk ke Foro Romano pula. Tapi bila mendapati pintu masuk ke Foro Romano tu sangat jauh, terpaksa pusing pagar, aku matikan hasrat... Masa tu memang dah tak larat langsung dah... Habis dah tenaga aku... Aku, Mus dan Ahmad tunggu je kat luar pagar sementara Amnani dan Hajar yang masih bertenaga meneruskan penjelajahan... Geng-geng maktuk dah takde dah... Derang decide utk jalan2 plus shopping shopping kat sekitar Rome...
Gambar-gambar kecik kat atas tu, pemandangan dalam Foro Romano... Sementara gambar-gambar di bawah ni pula, tinggalan-tinggalan sejarah Rome di sekitar Rome.
Berpandukan peta, kami menuju ke Pentheon... Aku, Amnani ngan Ahmad dapat ikut separuh jalan jerk... Kaki ni dah takleh nak melangkah lagi dah... Mus dan Hajar meneruskan jejakan... Kami tunggu kat simpang jalan jerk...
Kat bawah patung ni kami melepak, dah tak kira orang lalu lalang lagi dah.... Aku dah rasa macam nak baring je kat situ.... Tak larat, sungguh sungguh tak larat....
Sedikit info mengenai Pentheon...
The Pantheon (Latin Pantheon[1], from Greek Πάνθειον Pantheon, meaning "Temple of all the gods") is a building in Rome which was originally built as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome, and rebuilt circa 125 AD during Hadrian's reign. The intended degree of inclusiveness of this dedication is debated. The generic term pantheon is now applied to a monument in which illustrious dead are buried. It is the best preserved of all Roman buildings, and perhaps the best preserved building of its age in the world. It has been in continuous use throughout its history. The design of the extant building is sometimes credited to the Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus, but it is equally likely that the building and the design should be credited to the emperor Hadrian or his architects. Since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a Catholic church. The Pantheon is currently the oldest standing domed structure in Rome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).
Then, teruskan lagi penjelajahan ke Fontana di Trevi atau Trevi Fountain.. Sebelum sampai ke 'fountain' ternampak McDonald.. Oleh kerana bekalan air pun dah habis, ditambah dengan perut yg dah lapar semula serta tangki kecik yang dah penuh, kami berhenti rehat di McDonald yg hanya terletak kira2 10 meter je dari Fontana di Trevi.
The Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi)[1] is the largest — standing 25.9 meters (85 feet) high and 19.8 meters (65 feet) wide — and most ambitious of the Baroque fountains of Rome. It is located in the rione of Trevi.
The fountain at the juncture of three roads (tre vie)[2] marks the terminal point[3] of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revivified Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km (8 miles) from the city. (This scene is presented on the present fountain's facade). However, the eventual indirect route of the aqueduct made its length some 22 km (14 miles). This Aqua Virgo led the water into the Baths of Agrippa. It served Rome for more than four hundred years.[4] The "coup de grace" for the urban life of late classical Rome came when the Goth besiegers in 537/38 broke the aqueducts. Medieval Romans were reduced to drawing water from polluted wells and the Tiber River, which was also used as a sewer.
The Roman custom of building a handsome fountain at the endpoint of an aqueduct that brought water to Rome was revived in the fifteenth century, with the Renaissance. In 1453, Pope Nicholas V finished mending the Acqua Vergine aqueduct and built a simple basin, designed by the humanist architect Leon Battista Alberti, to herald the water's arrival
Info mengenai 'Coin throwing' di Trevi Fountain..
A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome. Among those who are unaware that the "three coins" of Three Coins in the Fountain were thrown by three different individuals, a reported current interpretation is that two coins will lead to a new romance and three will ensure either a marriage or divorce. A reported current version of this legend is that it is lucky to throw three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain.
Approximately 3,000 Euros are thrown into the fountain each day and are collected at night. The money has been used to subsidize a supermarket for Rome's needy. However, there are regular attempts to steal coins from the fountain, including some using a magnetized pole.
Semasa menunggu train balik ke Stesen Prima Porta... Tgk je la muka kitorang, dah takde rupa dah.... Penat penat penat yang teramat penat....
Kami tiba ke Campsite Tiber setelah tirai senja melabuhkan sinarnya... Sajian enak makan malam adalah nasi putih bersama ayam masak lemak cili api campur tahu kering.. Memang terangkat... Perut lapar lak tuu.... Tak toleh kiri kanan lagi dah...
Good nite... Tamat lah kisah di Rome... Bandar sejarah yang penuh dengan kenangan... Esok Insya Allah perjalanan akan diteruskan ke Pisa....
