The portico itself and its surroundings are something you shouldn't miss on your Rome visit. It is located inside the Jewish Ghetto, and it's so full of history and energy that you will not regret it. Right next to it there's a museum talking about the nazis, would definitely recommend visiting. Also, it's free, so that's a win.
awesome

The statue is not that big as you expect to see from pictures. It's in an alley in front of multiple buildings.

Visitato in occasione dell’esposizione del Caravaggio “la presa di cristo”. Un esperienza unica personale gentilissimo e pronto a dare ogni tipo di spiegazione. La mostra dopo il Caravaggio prosegue nell’affascinante viaggio guidato sugli archivi del banco di Napoli. Visita consigliatissima

Nach antiker Quellen ließ Augustus zwischen 33 und 23 v. Chr. die Portikus im Namen seiner Schwester Octavia errichten.
Mit Portikus bezeichnet man in der neuzeitlichen Architektur vor allem die als Säulenhalle gestaltete Vorhalle.

Molto bella. Si apre in tutto il suo splendore ruotando per 360 gradi dopo aver visitato tutta la struttura. Una scala riporta il visitatore nella chiesa passando per locali affascinanti.
Nice spot in Milan with fountains and modern buildings as background

Edificio de gran valor arquitectónico y cultural para la historia de Nápoles. Ubicado en la Via dei Tribunali, es un emblema de la grandeza de lo que fue (y sigue siendo) la ciudad. He tenido la suerte de poder visitar la obra expuesta del Caravaggio, La Presa Di Cristo. MOzzaFiatto é poco. Debo decir que me ha encantado el "allestimento", cómo han diseñado el recorrido de la visita, cómo está explicado el contenido referente a la obra y cómo culmina el recorrido con las notas reales sobre sus cuadros en la sección de libros contables, conservados y expuestos en perfecto estado y de una manera muy didáctica. Hay que reconocer el valor del trabajo bien hecho y afirmar que los diez euros que vale la entrada merecen absolutamente la pena. Al menos se han esforzado también en crear un recorrido didáctico y multimedia a través del cuál entender el valor del "archivio storico del banco di Napoli"

Ci arrivo per lavoro, e rimango stupito nel ammirare la bellezza di questa piazza. Alcune case caratteristiche, belle belle. Ci tornerò con più calma.
Bit of a random water based monument. Nice little surprise - good idea to get off at this station then walk to Duomo - there’s lots to see in between.
We rumble without knowing the place and we were absolutely happy to discover it. Marvelous place to visit.

Ho visitato il palazzo in occasione dell'esposizione del capolavoro del Caravaggio, La cattura di Cristo, opera proveniente da una collezione privata. Molto bello anche l'archivio con documenti originali.

We happened upon this when seeing the Theatre Marcello across few meters away. It is impressive up close, but there is one sign with its historical background so it’s just a few minute look.

Neben dem jüdischen Viertel, wo man gut essen gehen kann. Kostenloser Blick auf historische Fragmente
Beautiful area with lots of space to chill and relax, especially on nice sunny days. There’s a mall nearby and a park.
Beautiful place to relax and gather with friends
Cool sculpture. Water fountain on one side and steps for sitting on the other side.
Beautiful statue but looks a bit unloved 😔
?? All'accesso c'è un cartello scolorito che indica 'castello sec. X....', ma é proprietá privata, oltretutto coperta da vite americana...
Un luogo ricco di cultura. Composto da tantissime sale interessanti e diverse tra di loro.
Il chiostro purtroppo è poco curato così come i giardini, i quali hanno un grandissimo potenziale dato il bellissimo panorama che si può godere mentre li si percorre.

Very fun and interesting. Might be very boring for young kids. Long walks and steep stairs, but still do-able. There was a really weird "projector room" that i thought was funny. Overall good visit. I suggest going into that projector room behind the black doors if you can. Also some cool(some weird) art.

If I had to share just about The beauty of the place, I would have given five stars. The problem is that the place is kept dirty and that’s a pity.
I hope there will be more maintenance onward.

Schön hier, eher zufällig nach dem Mittagessen im jüd. Ghetto haben wir den Durchgang zum Marcellus-Theater gefunden, der hier mit weiteren Ruinen und Säulen gespickt ist. Empfehlenswert.

Faszinierend schönes Rathaus mit einer Statue von Julius Cäsar.
Tower inside of a tower the inside one is the oldest in bolonga, the views from the top are very good
The fountain is beautiful both during the day and night. It’s a good place to just stop and relax a bit, if you go to City Life, make sure you check this out.

This is a fascinating area, next to the Theatre of Marcello, with various excavated buildings and the portico that survived, as usual, by being absorbed into a church. Originally two temples and a library the area then suffered various fires and earthquakes before a church was built in the ruins and later, a fish market. It's quite amazing there is anything left! There are a few information boards and walkways so you can see the different levels of the site. Access is free and nearby is the Jewish synagogue and I think the museum of resistance to the Nazis.
Beautiful place where you can stop by and relax.
It was just phenomenal, definitely worth your time.
Worth the trip up for the views alone. The crèche and artwork are also fantastic

Si ha notizia di una Casa Comunale qui esistente già nel 1296, che venne poi rimaneggiata nel Quattrocento e ricostruita dal 1545 al 1588. Era comunque decisamente diversa da quella che oggi vediamo.All'interno del Municipio, nella sala consigliare sono conservati imponenti ritratti di Provveditori Veneti e in due stanze ci sono gli affreschi del cividalese Francesco Chiarottini

Una piazza storica con palazzi dalle decorazioni da restaurare, ma comunque dal fascino innegabile. Bellissimi i decori in ferro battuto sotto ad alcune terrazze.

Interesting story of how status disappeared and appeared time by time in history
La fontana, opera del milanese Werther Sever, sorge su una piccola collina artificiale ed è stata costruita durante la II guerra mondiale con lo scopo di nascondere un rifugio antiaereo che poteva ospitare oltre 450 persone. Questo è uno dei primi rifugi ad uso pubblico costruiti a Milano. È in calcestruzzo, occupa un’area di 215 mq e al suo interno vi sono 20 stanze.
The monument designed by Aldo Rossi is isolated from the busy shopping streets of Milan. It’s a cube within a public square, one half is dedicated for the fountain while the other half is stepped. You can sit on different levels and experience listening to the flowing water.
A very good cloister in good shape. Excellent views of the Bay of Naples and the gardens are also very nice to wander in on a beautiful Fall day. They also have a very interesting collection of dioramas, or perhaps creches, depicting different scenes including Christmas related topics.
On a good sunny day, it's a perfect spot to go to and relax. The combination of art and nature makes Fontana Giuseppe Grandi visually satisfying.

Fontana storica di Trescore che normalmente funghe da rotonda nel grande parcheggio a servizio degli esercizi commerciali della zona mentre talvolta si trasforma e diviene un palco per ospitare eventi come la festa dell'uva.
Ben tenuta e curata.
Climbing Bologna’s oldest tower with a tour on a Saturday is a fantastic experience and highly recommended!

A good example (that wasn’t underground!) of mixed cultures throughout the history in this region of Europe.
It was clean and a beautiful place
Beautiful fountain with bronze statue in a small green area park in Milano Metropolitan aerea. Is a nice fountain built with marble and bronze in honour to Giuseppe Grandi! 👍

Although there aren't many informational postings in the rocca del leone, the views and level of access is amazing. You can explore the walls and towers and be treated to amazing views of the Trasimeno area. A visit is highly recommended if you are in the area--just be prepared for it to be a bit chillier/windier up top than it is in town.

Piękny. Są pierwsze wzmianki o istniejącym tutaj domu komunalnym już w 1296 r. Następnie przebudowany w XV wieku i w latach 1545–1588. Na fasadzie od strony katedry znajduje się płaskorzeźba z lwem św. Marka z inskrypcją z 1560 r. Na wewnętrznym dziedzińcu znajdują się pozostałości rzymskiego domu z I-II wieku, który został odkryty w 1938 roku. Przed pałacem znajduje się pomnik Cezara - założyciela miasta.
Beautiful and very peaceful place at the Tre Torri

Con la complicità della vicinanza del duomo e del palazzo De Nordis, questo affascinante edificio cattura l'attenzione dei passanti e risulta ottimo per aperitivi sotto le ampie logge. Suggestivo anche a tarda sera

I was surprised with this place! We came here with zero expexctations and left happy! Great little fortress with amazing views at the lake. Perfect for a short visit with a child of 6 who is crazy about castles. We loved it!

And oh, they had an open air movie theater inside. Too bad the movies in English are not shown every day.
Very nice place with great view at modern area
Nice for sitting but it is very dirty.
Lovely castle/hill top village. Great views in good weather and museums to hide if it rains, lots of little shops if you want to buy locally made pieces and if you get hungry there is a great selection of bars/restaurants with authentic dishes from locality.
Edit

The Statue of the Nile God (Statua del dio Nilo) is an Ancient Roman, likely Hellenistic, marble statue dating from the 2nd to 3rd century AD.



Nile God

It is located at Piazzetta Nilo, at the start of via Nilo, in the quarter of the same name, and it is this statue that gives all their name. The church of Santa Maria Assunta dei Pignatellifaces the statue, and the Palazzo Panormitais on the north flank. Two blocks east, along Via Benedetto Croce (part of the DecumanoInferiore commonly called Via Spaccanapoli) rises the church of San Domenico.
Beautiful, a master piece to see in Milan
Ok but parking lot always full
The monument is beautiful. But there is limited seating space. There isn't much to do here. It is very relaxing and peaceful for a lunch break of quiet time to yourself.
Vale la pena visitare il paese di Trescore sul cammino verso il lago d' iseo

A mio parere un po' fredda...ok la storia (che nemmeno è raccontata su uno straccio di cartello) ma a parte l'annuale Festa dell'uva non è affatto attiva, se non per qualche negozio lì attorno...andrebbe omaggiata molto di più visto che è una piazza che ci invidia anche Vittorio Sgarbi

Die Loggia del Palazzo Comunale ist ein schönes Bauwerk und der angrenzende Parkplatz eignet sich gut als Ausgangspunkt für einen kleinen Stadtrundgang.
The statue of the god Nile, an ancient Roman marble sculpture of 2-3 centuries.
During the Second World War, the fascist vandals repulsed and stole from the statue of the head of the sphinx and crocodile for further implementation on the "black" antique market.
The stolen heads were discovered in Austria in the early sixties, but they were restored only recently, exclusively to funds collected as donations from tourists and local residents.
The sculpture dedicated to the Nile is part of the so-called Spaccanapoli, the street of Naples, dividing the historic center of the city into equal parts.
According to assumptions, the statue of the Nile appeared thanks to the Alexandrians, who had moved here for more than two thousand years to trade with Rome. The sculpture should have reminded them of their native, but far-off lands.
Beautiful place with some bars really appreciated and a little more quiet than other square in Napoli
This monument to Sandro Pertini, the most loved president of the Republic of Italy, was set up in 1990. It's a strategic position in the "quadrilatero della moda", at the busy cross Road of Montenapoleone and Manzoni, it's a quite area to relax and meet friends in the square. After that, Giorgio Armani invested millions to create the Giorgio Armani building with hotel, restorant and luxury shop facing on this square. I recommend visiting the square in a sunny day and just seat to watch the busy road of luxury Montenapoleone. Compared to Rome, where you find many ancient monuments with fountains, there are very few fountains in Milan and probably this is the latest one built in modern times.
Da provare almeno una volta , veramente professionali , gentili , cibo buonissimo,
Panorama mozzafiato.
Really nice and important monument. it's meeting point for many young milan people
A had a night tour at the top of the ancient bell. The view was stunning, and a volunteer told us a lot of interesting facts about the church and the bell's history.

Fantastica la Loggia del Palazzo Comunale a Cividale del Friuli, con archi a sesto acuto, Location ottima per Aperitivi e Punto di Partenza della WalkingRunCividaleUrbanByNight il Lunedì sera alle 20.00.
Classy material but stocky and blocks the view on what could have been a charming square.
