While visiting the
Basilica of St. John Lateran
there is a big Obelisk out the back (Roman obsession with Egypt)
and looking past it I noticed a building that had ruins merged into its roof top!
At first I thought this was some mistake, or simply a visual depth problem, so I moved closer
and the building was indeed moulded around the ruins. I imagine due to the size of the ruins it
was impractical to remove them first before building the house, but it does make me curious,
how far down and back do the ruins go into that house?
