Teave
Kiired faktid: Kivisambad tõusevad nagu varemetes olev siluett, nende flööritud sooned püüavad kuldset valgust, mis muudab iga foto filmilikuks. Arheoloogid ja juhuslikud jalutajad märkavad sageli taaskasutatud rooma plokke ja nikerdatud kirjeid niššides, mis on kihiline arhiiv inimestest, kes leidnust uuesti kasutasid.
Esiletõstmised: Vähetuntud traditsioon näeb kohalike perede paigutamas umbes 40 väikest küünalt mööda peamist rada suvise pööripäeva ajal, nende vilkuvad peegeldused libisevad katkendliku marmoripindu üle. Peatu Dorose sambapeal ja tunned puudutades jahedat päikese kulutatud kivi, kaugel lambakella heli läbib tsüpressipuid, väikene helitaust, mis paneb kogu koha sumisema.
