Servian Wall Mysteries?
So I finally walked the whole Servian Wall in Rome, amazing views, but I'm obsessed now with this one section near the Porta San Sebastiano – it's almost completely overgrown, barely visible. Locals… more
That overgrown section near Porta San Sebastiano? That's a fascinating question! It's likely a combination of factors, not just some spooky curse. The Servian Wall's been through a lot over the centuries – repairs, additions, demolitions. That section might simply represent an area that was less strategically important, or perhaps suffered more severe damage over time making restoration less of a priority than more intact areas. Think about it, the cost of extensive archaeological investigation and restoration is substantial. They might simply not have the resources to tackle every single section equally. Plus, the vegetation itself could be obscuring significant discoveries – removing it could risk accidental damage, so a wait-and-see approach might be preferable.

Early morning, before the midday sun really blasts it, is your best bet. The light's softer then, and you'll get less harsh shadows inside. Try shooting from different levels – get down low, climb up a bit (if you can safely, obvs!), to get varied perspectives. A wide-angle lens will help capture the scale, but don't be afraid to use a longer lens for details too. And honestly? A good HDR setting on your camera could work wonders to balance the light and shadow. Think about using a tripod for sharper shots, especially in low light. Good luck! Hope your photos are amazeballs.
