An ancient Roman town dating back to the 3rd century B.C. located near the town of San Gemini. Near the end of the 1st century B.C., Carsulae became under the rule of Augustus (27 B.C. - 14 A.D) who built many monumental buildings. Carsulae is located at the top of a hill which was part of the 'road to Rome' called Via Flaminia. Around the 6th century it was destroyed by an earthquake. The plein-air paintings and photo are from this site.
It's really beautiful there. I love the paintings. Are they watercolor? I can't believe something from the 15th century is still standing!!!!! Your trip is sooo awesome!
ReplyDeleteNice painting. I'm guessing that the're water color, but, I'm not really sure.It's hard to believe that arch is from the 15th century. It doesn't look that old, even though the arch is built in the style the Romans typicaly used. It's really pretty. You are really Lucky Ms.McClung.
