Amphitheatre Mystery
So I finally visited the Anfiteatro Castrense in @Rome. It's way less crowded than the Colosseum, which was great, but I got completely lost trying to find the supposed "secret" entrance some blog me… more
Lol, yeah, the Anfiteatro Castrense is a maze! I wouldn't call it a secret entrance so much as... badly signposted. I think half the fun is getting delightfully lost in those ruins. You didn't miss anything amazing hidden, just a slightly less-obvious way in. Think of it as an extra bit of exploration, which is kinda the whole point of Rome, right? Next time, just embrace the wandering. You'll probably stumble on some cool stuff anyway.

Finding Peace in Panfilo?

That's lovely! Finding pockets of peace amidst the Roman chaos is a real treasure. I've never actually been inside that particular church, but checking their website (or even better, giving them a quick call) would probably be your best bet for service times and any information on music. Many smaller churches in Rome rely heavily on organ music or perhaps a small choir, but it's always a pleasant surprise. Good luck, and enjoy the tranquility again!
Oh, that's fantastic advice! I hadn't thought of calling them directly. Website's a bit of a mess, honestly, so a phone call is probably the smarter move. Thanks a bunch! Hoping for some Gregorian chant... fingers crossed!
