The Journey
The Colosseum
Step back in time at the Colosseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, a monumental testament to Roman engineering and spectacle. Commissioned by the Flavian emperors, this iconic arena hosted gladiatorial contests, public executions, and dramatic animal hunts, entertaining vast crowds. Marvel at the scale of this ancient amphitheater, now a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and imagine the roar of the crowds and the clash of gladiators within its walls.
Roman Forum
Wander through the ruins of the Roman Forum, the heart of ancient Rome's political, religious, and economic life. Situated between the Palatine Hill, the Capitoline Hill, Via dei Fori Imperiali, and the Colosseum, this archaeological area offers a glimpse into the daily life of ancient Romans. Explore the remains of basilicas, temples, and arches, including the Basilica of Maxentius and the Arch of Titus, and imagine the bustling activity that once filled this historic space.
Trevi Fountain
Experience the magic of the Trevi Fountain, one of the world's most famous and enchanting fountains. Originating from an ancient aqueduct dating back to 19 BC, the fountain's current baroque design was conceived by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Toss a coin into its turquoise waters to ensure your return to Rome, according to legend. Throwing two coins means you'll find love, perhaps of Italian nationality, and three coins predict an early marriage. Be sure to toss the coin with your right hand over your left shoulder to seal your fate!
Piazza Navona
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Piazza Navona, Rome's most elegant square, built upon the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian. Once used for athletic competitions, the square now hosts street artists, painters, and portraitists. Admire Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers, featuring statues representing the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Rio de la Plata. Don't miss the Fountain of the Moor and the Fountain of Neptune, along with the Doria-Pamphili Palace and the Church of Sant'Agnese, all adding to the square's charm.
Pantheon
Marvel at the architectural genius of the Pantheon, one of the best-preserved monuments of ancient Rome. Completed during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD, the Pantheon stands on the site of an earlier temple built by Agrippa. Converted into a church in the 7th century, it features a breathtaking dome with an oculus that floods the interior with natural light. Inside, you'll find the tombs of Italian kings and the final resting place of the renowned painter Raphael, making it a must-see historical and artistic treasure.
Vatican Museums
Delve into centuries of art and history at the Vatican Museums, a vast complex that originated with Pope Julius II's private collection in 1503. Explore the Pio-Clementino Museum, home to iconic Greek sculptures, and wander through the Gallery of Geographical Maps, showcasing frescoed maps of Italian regions and papal territories. Visit the Raphael Rooms, adorned with stunning frescoes by the master painter and his assistants, which once served as the apartments of Pope Julius II. With its unparalleled collection, the Vatican Museums offer an unforgettable journey through art and culture.
Sistine Chapel
Behold the awe-inspiring beauty of the Sistine Chapel, one of the Vatican's and the world's most cherished treasures. Constructed during the papacy of Pope Sixtus IV, the chapel is famed for its breathtaking frescoes, including Michelangelo's masterpiece, "The Last Judgment." Admire the works of other Renaissance masters such as Botticelli and Perugino, who contributed to the chapel's stunning wall decorations. The Sistine Chapel also holds significant importance as the venue for papal elections, making it a site of both artistic and historical significance.
