Captured through etchings and engravings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in 1756, this interior view showcases the grandeur and architectural brilliance of ancient Rome. The circular opening at the center, known as the oculus, allows natural light to pour into this sacred space, creating an ethereal ambiance that transcends time. Transporting us from ancient marvels to modern wonders, we find ourselves standing beneath another captivating oculus. Designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, The Oculus at Westfield World Trade Center stands tall amidst Manhattan's skyline. This architectural gem serves as both a transportation hub and a symbol of resilience for New York City.

With One World Trade Center majestically towering behind it, this striking fusion of artistry and functionality leaves visitors breathless. The Oculus subway station nestled within Manhattan's Financial District is a testament to human ingenuity and urban design. Its sleek lines harmonize with its surroundings while providing efficient connectivity for commuters traversing one of America's busiest cities. Whether it be exploring centuries-old masterpieces or embracing contemporary architectural wonders like these ocular marvels in Rome and New York City - each glimpse through these symbolic openings invites us on a journey where past meets present seamlessly.
