Tindari

Yesterday, a few of us went to Tindari. There we were able to see the Black Madonna. The church it was in was absolutely beautiful. The ceiling had intricate art work and the mosaics along the walls were beautiful. After that we saw ruins from ancient Roman civilization. The remains of a church had some Greek influences. We saw Roman apartments and saunas and the actual road the Romans used was still intact. Tindari also had a Greek theatre which the Romans later used. Next we swam in the laghi (lake), which are man-made. We also swam in the Mediterranean Sea and most of us enjoyed a little siesta on the beach.
