This was maybe the best experience on Sentosa island (save the Aquarium), as I did not expect it.Nice sculptures, nice trees and flowers, perfect lookout. Sentosa's Marlion is also here. A must visit place.

An interesting Art Museum showing rare masterpieces of Claude Monet and other Impressionists. I expected less from this museum, but was impressed to see loaned masterpieces from European galleries, like d'Orsay. At time of our visit (March 2018) there was a special exhibition, showing masterpieces from Monet, Renoir, Juan Luna and others. The building itself is a spectacular, Neoclassical in style, but too large for the pieces of art i offers. An hour is enough to take at look at the most prominent pictures.

Nice way to get to Musei Capitolini - When heading up from the Piazza DÁracoeli to the museum up the Capitoline Hill, this is the easiest, the shortest and the most spectacular way. It was designed by Michaelangelo, but was built later by della Porta - somewhere in the end of 16th century. It was used not only for passengers, but also for horses and carriages, thus the relatively slight slope and small steps on even intervals. When going from he lower part to the upper, one gets suddenly to the beautiful Piazza di Campidoglio, designed - again - by Michaelangelo. Visited April 2017

Less impressive than the Titus arch, and newer with a century. It is either worse repaired than the Titus arch, or the original material is worse. It is built to commemorate the victories of the Roman against the Partians in the end of 2nd Century AD. MAybe the most prominent feature is the damnatio memoriea - Caracalla, the son of Septimus Severus, ordered he name of his brother Geta, to be removed from the inscription.

This building was the largest ever built on the Roman Forum, and was known as Basilica Nova. It was used for a court-house, and for gathering of large number of Romans. It housed the giant statue of Constantine, now standing in the Capitoline Museum. Instead of having columns to support the ceiling, there were arches and the roof was not flat, so its weight could be held by the arches. Only the north facade is now still standing. Despite this fact, when entering the Basilica, one feels so small and could imagine how did the ordinary Roman citizen felt in front of the court.
