People just park wherever there is an inch
They have these fountains, they all look about the same, and the water is potable, drinkable water, you can fill up your water bottles. The whole system was made thousands of years ago and still works today.
Coliseum in the background. All churches you had to cover up your shoulders and knees so we carried around a light sweater everywhere. It was hot outside, but, we wanted to be respectful of their rules.

This church had trouble with it's structure so it could have have a dome put on top for fear of collapse so they painted a flat surface to look round.

We went later with a guide and he told us and took us outside to show us the flat surface.
