Ruins of the Basilica Ulpia and Trajan’s Column, both part of Foro Traiano (Trajan’s Forum) a Roman square built by Emperor Trajan in the 2nd-century, the column celebrating victory over Dacia (roughly modern day Romania).  In the background is Santa Maria di Loreto, a 16th century church with a square first story and an octagonal second story built in travertine and brick.

Children playing at the Place des Moulins (Square of the mills).  The square is located at the top of the butte des Moulins in Marseille, France, the name is due to the presence of windmills at the end of the 16th century.
