Piramide van Cestius aan de Via Sostiensis te Rome, Italië 1857 - 1900

This 19th-century photograph by the Fratelli Alinari depicts the Pyramid of Cestius in Rome. A Roman tomb built in the 1st century BC, the structure was a popular subject for photographers in the late 19th century. The image captures the pyramid in its grandeur, standing against a backdrop of the ancient Aurelian Walls, highlighting the architectural legacy of Rome. The photograph is a prime example of the *Alinari Brothers* photographic collection, known for its detailed documentation of Italian history and architecture.
