If it rains

Santa Maria in TrastevereTrastevere · Medieval gold mosaics in the apse catch the lamps after dark; step in during the evening opening, then eat in the lanes around the piazza.
PantheonPigna · The largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built, lit only through its open oculus. Go at opening, before the groups, and watch the disc of sunlight travel across the coffers.Capitoline MuseumsCampitelli (Capitoline Hill) · Come in the late afternoon and finish on the Terrazza Caffarelli and the Tabularium gallery, which looks straight down the Forum.
