Sights & places of interest in Rome to visit

Colosseum

Originally built in 80 AD, this amphitheatre in the centre of Rome is one of the greates works of architecture and engineering and one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of the world. It was able to hold between 50,000 – 80,000 spectators at any of the events which were held there including gladiators fighting to the death, public spectacles and executions.

Roman Forum

This square in central Rome is widely considered to be one of the most celebrated meeting places in all of history. Originally a rectangular plaza and used as a market, it grew to become the sight for several important ancient government buildings and monuments. It was the centre of Roman politics and a place of important commercial affairs.

Pantheon

This building was originally built between around 14 AD and is one of the best preserved Ancient Roman buildings and has been in continuous use throughout history. Consecrated as a church to “St. Mary and the Martyr” since the 7^th century, it contains tombs of some famous Italians such as Raphael, Victor Emmanuel, and Umberto I. The square in front of the Pantheon called the Piazza della Rotonda is also one of the most fashionable and trendy squares in all of Rome.

St. Peter’s Basilica

This church is the official seat of the head of the Roman Catholic faith and is located within a small country in central Rome called Vatican City. The church has one of the most famous designs of Renaissance architecture as created by Michelangelo, Donato Bramante and other Renaissance masters. The church houses the tomb of St. Peter and former popes as well as many stunning works of art.

Sistine Chapel

This chapel is the official residence of the Pope in the Vatican City and where the Papal conclave takes place. However, it is probably most well-known for its vaulted painted ceiling which was created by Michelangelo. The ceiling’s various painted elements form a larger story depicting scenes from the Book of Genesis.

Trevi Fountain

Easily one of the most recognisable fountains in all of the world, the Trevi Fountain was designed by Italian Architect Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762. The fountain was placed at a crucial junction where three aqueducts meet. The fountain has been immortalised in several well-known films including La Dolce Vita.

Castel Sant' Angelo

This structure was built originally as a mausoleum for the Roman Emperor Hadrian. It was built on the site where it was believed the Archangel Michael appeared atop of the mausoleum and afterwards the plague ended in Rome.

Palatine Hill

This hilltop in central Rome is the centremost of the Seven Hills of Rome and one of the oldest parts of the city. The hill stands some 40 metres above the Roman Forum and was the site of the Imperial Palace complex.
