This is Rome. You catch a train, you go shopping, you go ut for food and.. you end up sightseeing! 😜

These are only few of the endless examples of ruins appearing where you least expect them:

1️⃣ San Giovanni metro station. This new metro station was inaugurated in 2018, after excavating over 3000 square meters (9800 square feet) and a 27 meters (88 feet) depth. And what happens in Rome when you start digging?
You find endless amount of object through the layers of this lasagna of history!

2️⃣ Ruins in the Rinascente department store. This is the Aqua Virgo, the only aqueduct from Ancient Rome still in use today.. since 19BC!
What made this particular aqueduct so resistant compared to the remaining 10? For the most part it was underground, in fact only 2 kilometers out of the 20 was overground.
Still today this aqueduct feeds the most famous fountains of Rome, such as the Trevi fountain, the fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona and the Barcaccia fountain in Piazza di Spagna!

3️⃣ Ruins in the McDonald’s in piazza di Spagna. We couldn’t find any trustable source of info about these mosaics, however right by that wall, a marble inscription states that is an ancient Roman marble (we cannot say with certainty which building it belonged to)
