Three eras of architecture and religion at one sight, this kind of luxury kindly delivered by the Forum Romanum. From left to right: the Roman Colosseum and the romanesque tower and early baroque facade of Santa Francesca Romana.
The lighting helps emphasize the age of these structures, I like the contrast between the different architectural styles.

@Steven: I guess almost all stones used for that portal were coming from the Colosseum, as it's the same marble type.
Amazing buildings.

@Laurie: Actually, it's just a pair: the church to the right both consists of the tower and portal (and everything between).
Superb cityscape! Lovely ancient place! Thanks!

@Porcsin: You're welcome :-) This is indeed a wonderful place, it's full of history and you immediately start thinking about all the people that might have been there in former times.
Impressive view and facts! Well spotted, Manfred!
