My day begins with a visit to Castel Sant'Angelo. Before me, the cylindrical mass of Castel Sant'Angelo rises like a sleeping giant that has shed its skin a thousand times: from imperial tomb to impregnable fortress, from prison to papal residence. I climb the spiral ramps, feeling the dampness of the millennia-old walls, until I emerge onto the Terrace of the Angel. There, at the foot of the bronze sword, the visitor is left breathless. Rome unfolds at its feet like a carpet of ochre-colored rooftops, and the dome of St. Peter’s seems so close you could almost touch it. Then, after a short walk, I reach the Pantheon. I enter quickly, without any trouble despite the presence of countless tourists. Crossing the threshold, I am overwhelmed by a sacred silence. I look up and lose myself in the immense dome, the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built. The Oculus, that perfect circle open to infinity, captures a cylinder of light that cuts through the darkness like a divine blade. I stop at the exact center of the building. I feel tiny beneath that opening that welcomes the sun (and the rain, which falls here like diamond dust). Between the tombs of the kings and the silent grace of Raphael, I realize that if Castel Sant’Angelo is history in flux, the Pantheon is eternity standing still. It is now evening; I return to the hotel tired but happy. A fantastic day, thanks also to you.

I really liked meeting the giraffes and that there is a place to eat, I liked that everything is well preserved and that the animals are well cared for.
