Visiting Rome, 2-28-23

On our final day in Italy, we spent the morning touring the COLOSSEUM, the Arch of Titus, and the Arch of Constantine. Afterwards, we had lunch in the Roman Ghetto (Jewish Ghetto of Rome) followed by a tour of the Tempio Maggiore (Great Jewish Synagogue) with the Museo Embrace di Roma. Our last stop was at the Portico d’Ottavia before a farewell dinner.
