The practical guide of Rome...
1. Roman Colosseum
The Coliseum is the main symbol of Rome, an imposing construction that, with almost 2,000 years old, will take you back in time to discover what the ancient society of the Roman Empire was like.
The construction of the Colosseum began in the year 72 under the Vespasian regime and ended in the year 80 during the Emperor Titus. After the completion of the construction the Colosseum became the largest Roman amphitheater, with dimensions of 188 meters in length, 156 meters in width and 57 meters in height.
2. THE PANTHEON
The great Michelangelo defined the Pantheon as "the work of angels and not of men". Majestic, of a beauty and a rare form, it rises right in the center of Rome a few steps from Piazza Navona. Free entrance.
When you visit it, you can not avoid seeing the great "oculus" on the top, an immense opening that is in the center of the dome and that the legend tells that it was created when the devil escaped from the temple of God.
3. FONTANA DI TREVI
Made immortal by "Dolce vita" de Fellini, the Trevi fountain is still one of the most visited attractions by tourists. It is an authentic masterpiece of architecture, sculpture and engineering. In the center you will find the figure of Oceano, then the statues that represent Health and Prosperity. To finish, the two horses that ideally represent the stormy sea (the one on the left) and calm (the one on the right).
4. VITTORIANA AND PLAZA VENICE
Plaza Venecia is located in the middle of the Roman tourist junction: between the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums on the one hand and via del Corso and via Nazionale on the other. If you have time, visit the Vittoriano, which for majesty, cultural and historical importance represents the symbol of Italy of the last two centuries.
5. PIAZZA NAVONA
Beautiful, relaxing and full of interesting things to see: the baroque church of San Agnes in Agony built by Borromini, the source of the four Bernini rivers. From The Palazzo Pamphilja The fountains of Moro and Neptune.
6. THE IMPERIAL FORA
The Imperial Forums represent one of the most recognized archaeological and historical areas in the world. Walking among the remnants of the empire that it was, is a bit like taking a walk in history. Located between the Coliseum and Venice Square, the Imperial Forums are one of the most beloved attractions for tourists.
7. BASILICA DI SAN PEDRO
We're talking about The biggest church in the world! It is really difficult to decide if it is prettier inside or outside. Bramante, Raffaello, Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, Peruzzi, Miguel Ángel. Above all, Michelangelo, with his Pieta, one of his best works.
8. CAPPELLA SIXTINA E MUSEI VATICANI
If we think about the Sistine Chapel, we can not avoid talking about Michelangelo: 10 years the great master used to finish the frescoes. The Sistine Chapel si trova all'interno dei Musei Vaticani.
9. PLAZA ESPAÑA
Plaza España is probably one of the most famous squares in the world. It is difficult not to get excited admiring the splendid staircase of Trinità dei Monti or sitting on the edges of the Barcaccia.
There are also attractions for lovers of English poetry, thanks to The museums of Keats and Shelley, and for those who like shopping, thanks to the nearby via dei Condotti and via del Corso.
