• Colosseum - Explore the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, once the political, administrative, and religious hub of ancient Rome. Among the ruins, discover the Arch of Titus, the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, the Temple of the Vestal Virgins, and the Ancient Senate house. The Forum, once a wasteland, was transformed with Rome’s first sewage system, draining into the Tiber River, paving the way for the grand palaces and basilicas of Ancient Rome.
• Forum Romain - Wander through the Roman Forum, amidst the remnants of ancient temples, basilicas, and government buildings that were the core of Roman political, religious, and social life. Notable sites include the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the Curia Julia, where senators once deliberated the empire’s fate.
• Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II - As you stroll through Piazza Venezia, admire the monument known by various names, including The Vittoriano and the “wedding cake” due to its tiered shape and white color. Named after Italy’s first king, it symbolizes national unity and houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and an eternal flame honoring those lost in WWI.
• Capitoline Wolf - Ascend Capitoline Hill for a panoramic view of Ancient Rome. Historically, Romans erected numerous temples here to assert Rome as “caput mundi,” the world’s head. Today, it remains the heart of Rome, offering unparalleled views of ancient landmarks.
• Pantheon - Initially constructed as a temple for all gods, the Pantheon, meaning “honor all gods” in Greek, is the best-preserved monument from Ancient Rome. Its resilience against time and gravity continues to intrigue architects and scholars. Despite several renovations, its main structure, including the legendary dome with its oculus, remains unchanged. It boasts the world’s largest unsupported dome, and annually at Pentecost, rose petals are dropped through the oculus, symbolizing the tongues of fire descending upon Christ’s followers.
• Trevi Fountain - The Trevi Fountain is arguably one of the world’s most famous fountains, featured in numerous films. Millions visit annually to toss a coin and make a wish. Rome donates these coins to charity, amounting to an estimated €1.4 million each year! The fountain’s origins trace back to Ancient Rome’s first aqueduct, and legend credits gambling for its construction, as the Pope allocated a third of lottery funds to finance it.
• Vatican Museums - Beyond being the Pope’s residence, Vatican City hosts the Vatican Museums, the world’s largest art collection, spanning 9 miles and encircling the Vatican walls 4 ½ times! It comprises 54 museums, 1400 rooms, chapels, and galleries. Besides the famous Sistine Chapel, the museums feature Rome’s only Leonardo Da Vinci piece, St. Jerome, the Raphael Rooms, and the Pinoteca, showcasing papal collections from the Middle Ages in chronological order.
• Sistine Chapel - Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel is perhaps the most renowned masterpiece today, attracting over 5 million visitors annually. Although Michelangelo, primarily a sculptor, reluctantly undertook the project, it is said that the chapel’s design by Pope Sixtus IV mirrors Solomon’s temple from the Old Testament, slightly larger than a professional basketball court. The chapel also features frescoes by artists like Domenico Ghirlandaio, Pietro Perugino, Cosimo Roselli, and Sandro Botticelli.
• St. Peter’s Basilica - Finally, witness the world’s largest basilica, with interior markings ensuring every other basilica could fit inside. Visitors can marvel at Michelangelo’s Pieta, 150 mosaics, and Bernini’s baldacchino, towering at 96 feet and weighing 100,000 pounds of bronze! Surprisingly, only one actual painting hangs above the Pieta. Many popes are interred or displayed here, with most buried beneath the basilica, including St. Peter, the first pope.
