Max visits Rome

Today Max visited St Peter's in Rome. It is a beautiful church filled with many beautiful pictures that are mosaics not paintings. The ceilings are very, very high. While Max was there, he sent a postcard to his friends at Mary Mackillop.

Max then went on a bus and visited a very old building. It is so old the walls have fallen down. Max found out that a long time ago, people who were slaves used to fight in front of many people. Can you guess what it is? Hint: It was a round building with rooms under the floor.

Max then got on the bus again and this time he saw many more churches. They were beautiful. He wanted to take a photo but he could not because there were murals on the walls and if everyone took a photo, the murals would be destroyed.
