Rome - Part Six - Ancient and Modern

Wow, Rome seems such a long time ago now, been back to work 3 days and already the sun is forgotten!

To cheer me here are a few random places in Rome that I loved, This is Hadrian's temple, which we just stumbled across, but is a lovely peaceful piazza near the centre of Rome. The columns are now part of the stock exchange building, but I am sure they will last longer than the temporal nature of the financial markets!

And in another conflict of ancient versus modern here is a very old building reflected in a modern bank building, one of the very few glass fronted buildings in the city.

And this is the modern art gallery I spent a happy few hours wandering around
