Rome
Rome is the capital of Italy and the Lazio region. It is the largest city in the country and one of the most visited in the world. The legendary “Eternal City” is situated on seven hills on both sides of the river Tiber, near the Mediterranean Sea. City-state Vatican is located inside of the Rome and makes it twice important for the whole Catholic world.
It is difficult to say what is the most memorable in this breathtaking city – the arrogant luxury of the Vatican, Forum immortal, insane speed of Italian cars, a huge number of cats in the Colosseum trying to pass through the intersection, or the bill for espresso. The eternal magic of Rome consists in the ability to combine ancient and modern. Empires rose and declined, the old gods were replaced by new ones, but Rome remains Rome.
Rome is the city of living and unforgettable images: the view of the outlines of the city from the highest hill of the city – Janiculum in the sunrise, columns and ruins of temples of the Roman Forum, the dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral in the background of the bright crimson colors of sunset – all these makes time spent in Rome unforgettable.
Picturesque views of the capital of Italy – not the only charm of it. Rome is also the city of sounds, beginning early in the morning with the ringing of church bells calling people to Mass, and merge into a variety of urban symphony throughout the day. The streets are filled with cars, taxis and scooters, whose horns are heard constantly there and here. The shops in the streets raise protective shutters and grilles with an incredible noise contributing to the music of the awakening of the city.
If you already wandered across the ruins of the Colosseum, watched the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Basilica, examined and threw a coin into the Trevi Fountain – you can finally take a break and gladly dive into the charm of the Roman evening in one of the many cafes. After dinner you can safely walk along the fountains or on the Piazza Navona feeling all the charm of the Roman night.
“Eternal City”, “City on Seven Hills”, “Foremother Cities” – so many names and epithets were given to one city during nearly three thousand years of its existence. But Roma is also the city of numerous hotels. Cheap hotels Rome and luxury Rome hotels are really of a great number. Online hotel booking may be the only way to pick the necessary lodging among dozens of hotels in Rome. Reservation Online Service (HROS) is the helping hand in such kind of situation. Online hotel booking is a quick and safe way to get a room in a good hotel in Rome beforehand.
Cambodia: HISTORY OF ANGKOR (6of6) [EN]
The inscriptions often mention the date, and sometimes the precise moment, at which a statue was ‘brought to life’ (the text speaks of ‘opening a statue’s eyes’), which was the crucial instant in the life of the temple. There was no solemn ceremony for the inauguration of a temple on its completion (which would have been difficult to determine exactly), nor one for laying the first stone. We know, however, that the Indian Shastras which laid down the rules of architecture, emphasised the extreme importance of the initial ceremonies for a building, and this is well attested by the presence of various ‘foundation offerings’ deposited beneath the actual foundations of the shrine, and also beneath the pedestals of the statues (which is why they have all been overturned by thieves), or even at the summit of the towers. The offerings were deposited in a square flagstone with various cavities, some of which were marked by letters and covered with a lid. In these cavities, precious stones, thin gold leaves, or even strands of hair or nail-clippings from the donor’s body, were placed. “Art flourished in Kamboja as never before, centered around a capital city known to all Asia as Angkor, the Magnificent, a city of more than a million inhabitants – which when it was extricated from the jungle in modern times, contained not a single human being. Chinese and Indian envoys could hardly believe their eyes when they gazed at the splendid temple of Angkor Vat, a sublime work of art that …
