Witness the daily noon cannon firing, a cherished Roman tradition that adds a touch of historical spectacle to your visit. The Janiculum Hill offers not just a view, but an experience that captures the soul of Rome.
Fontana dell’Acqua Paola
Behold the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola, a monumental fountain on the Janiculum Hill, also known as “Il Fontanone.” Commissioned by Pope Paul V in 1612, it marks the terminus of the ancient Trajan-Paul aqueduct. Marvel at its imposing white marble and majestic arches, which frame an enchanting view of Rome. More than a fountain, it's a gateway to the city's history and beauty.
Circus Maximus
Step back in time at the Circus Maximus, the largest ancient Roman stadium ever built, nestled between the Palatine and Aventine Hills. Imagine over 250,000 spectators cheering on chariot races and public events during the imperial era. Today, this vast archaeological site stands as a testament to Rome's grandeur, inviting you to breathe in the atmosphere of a bygone empire.
Colosseum
Stand in awe before the Colosseum, an undisputed symbol of Rome and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This magnificent amphitheater, inaugurated in 80 AD, once hosted spectacular gladiator contests, mock naval battles, and public spectacles for over 50,000 spectators. As one of the most visited sites globally, the Colosseum offers an unparalleled glimpse into the power and spectacle of the Roman Empire.
Trevi Fountain
Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, Rome's most famous fountain and a Baroque masterpiece. Designed by Nicola Salvi in the 18th century, it depicts the triumph of water, with the god Oceanus at its center, surrounded by Tritons and sea horses. Legend promises a return to Rome for those who cast a coin into its waters, making it an iconic, romantic, and unforgettable destination.
Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps)
Experience the elegance of Piazza di Spagna, renowned for its dramatic staircase of Trinità dei Monti, leading to the church above. At the piazza's heart lies the Fontana della Barcaccia, sculpted by Bernini. Surrounded by high-fashion boutiques, historic cafes, and elegant buildings, this iconic square is a beloved meeting point for both tourists and Romans, embodying the timeless charm of the Eternal City.
Piazza del Popolo
Enter historic Rome through Piazza del Popolo, one of the city's most majestic squares. Admire the Egyptian obelisk of Ramses II at its center, flanked by twin churches and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo, home to masterpieces by Caravaggio and Raphael. From here, a breathtaking view of the Pincio Gardens unfolds, making the square an ideal starting or ending point for a stroll through art, history, and architecture.
Piazza Navona
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Piazza Navona, built upon the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian. This elliptical square is celebrated for its three monumental fountains, including Bernini's stunning Fountain of Four Rivers, a symbol of Roman Baroque. Surrounded by elegant palaces, outdoor cafes, and street artists, it's the perfect place to soak in the beauty of historic Rome in a captivating setting.
Castel Sant'Angelo
Explore the layers of history at Castel Sant'Angelo, originally Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum in the 2nd century AD, later transformed into a fortress, papal residence, and prison. This imposing structure, situated along the Tiber River and connected by the bridge adorned with angel statues, stands as one of Rome's most compelling historical symbols. Ascend to its terrace for a breathtaking view of the city and St. Peter's Dome.
St. Peter's Basilica
Visit the spiritual heart of the Catholic world, St. Peter's Basilica, one of Rome's most sacred and awe-inspiring sites.

Discover timeless masterpieces and the tomb of St. Peter, the first pope, in this place of faith, art, and architectural majesty.
Pantheon
Marvel at the Pantheon, a masterpiece of Roman architecture and one of the best-preserved ancient monuments in the world. Originally a temple dedicated to all gods, it was completed under Emperor Hadrian in 125 AD. Its renowned dome, featuring an open central oculus, remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built. Now a Christian basilica, it houses the tombs of luminaries such as Raphael and Italian royalty, offering a journey through history, spirituality, and architectural harmony.
