Great Squares (Piazze)

Rome's squares are one of the main attractions of the Italian Capital, perhaps 'thecor e' of the city itself.In Piazza for meeting each other, to amuse, chat with friends, and for events or for the  daily 'happy hour'.Piazza del Campidoglio (on the Capitol Hill) houses the city council; Piazza Veneziarepresents the  'heart of the city'; Piazza Navona displays the spectacular Baroquetriumphant architecture; Piazza di Spagna  is a masterpiece of the XVIII century with

its famous Spanish steps and, last but not least, St Peter's Square  is the majesticaccess to St Peter's Basilica, the centre of Christianity.

Roman basilicas and churches

Within Rome there are about 19 basilicas to be found, out of which 3 are patriarchal:St Peter's Basilica - the world's largest basilica of Christianity; St John in Lateran(San Giovanni Laterano) - former seat of the bishop ’s residence and the mostancient church in the world, Santa Maria Maggiore...

Ancient Rome sights

ColosseumThe hugest structure of its type in the ancient Rome, the elliptical-shaped Colosseum, took about ten year s to build. The centre of ancient

Rome entertainment, where the gladiatorial and animal combats wereheld, but contrarily to popular belief, it was not the place where

Christians were put to death. Surely the top tourist attraction in Rome.

Roman ForumThe central area around which the ancient Rome developed.

 Administrative and corpor ate heart of Rome. 

PantheonOne of the most impressive buildings of the Imperial Rome. Originallydedicated as a temple to "all the gods", therefore the name. Aremarkable architectural feat, it remains the world’s largest unreinforced

dome.

 Appian Way The Appian Way is an archeological park where to soak in the sunshine whilestrolling past ancient Roman tombs of patrician families. Visit the catacombs of St.Sebastian and Callixtus.
