Story · Amphitheatre Castrense
You're standing at the Amphitheatrum Castrense, right next to the basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. Take a good look at that curved brick wall. It's not just a city wall. It's the outside of a Roman amphitheatre, and apart from the Colosseum, it's the only one in Rome with anything still standing.
