| Ancient Roman Coliseum in the centre of the city; still used for operas |
 |
| Ancient Roman gateway |
 |
| Notice the wheel tracks in the stones under the arch gate |
 |
| Note the ceiling carvings |
 |
| The fortress bridge |
 |
| The drawbridge into the fortress |
 |
| An impressive hinge on the drawbridge |
 |
| A fountain just inside the drawbridge gate |
 |
| This fellow is no longer happy, either for his empty fountain or watching tourists all day. |
 |
| This fountain is so old its drips have worn away the stone. |
 |
| Cannonballs, in case the war starts again. These are three and four times the size of your head. |
 |
| The back wall of the fortress |
 |
| Looking out from an aperture in the bridge |
Fascinating!
