Rome Trip 03.01.2026 - 10.01.2026
From January 3rd to the 10th Arch Soc will be going to Rome! We will be visiting a number of archaeological and historical sites, and will be going on a day trip to the fossilised Roman city of Pompeii, near Naples. We hope to see you there!
All people who intend to go on the trip must attend the information session and at least one other society event, so that everyone is familiar with each other.
