    When I saw this building I was just blown away by the scale and the way it dominated everything around it. However I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. 10 mins walk from the Colosseum.

    If you look closely at the top of the steps beneath the statue of the horse the 2 guys holding spears are actually people. I did not believe my wife when she said it but then when looking at them through 200mm, one of them moved. :)

    You can immediately see where the Nazis were taking their architectural inspiration from.

    It’s the vitorio emanuelle ii building, built after the 2nd ww , I think . The locals hate it , call it the “type writer ” out of keeping with everything else …. I liked it . Lovely shot by the way !

    Thanks Jodal. It really grabs the attention. Made me immediately think of Nuremberg.
