VALLEY OF FORUM

Between the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia lies one of the most fascinating archaeological areas to visit during a stay in Rome: the Valley of the Forum, the area where Roman civilization was born and developed over the centuries. The construction on the former marshy land of buildings used for political, religious, judicial and commercial activities, sanctioned the birth of the Roman Forum (VII century BC), the center of public life of ancient Rome for over a millennium.

Continuing to the city center, with its dome and colonnade, there is the Pantheon, one of the most famous Roman monuments. According to a legend, it rises at the point where Romulus, at his death, was seized and taken to heaven by an eagle. Temple dedicated to all the deities, it was built by Emperor Hadrian between 118 and 125 AD.

TREVI FOUNTAIN

If you are in Rome and intend to return, then do not hesitate to throw a coin in the famous Trevi Fountain to make your wish come true. Designed by the architect Nicolò Salvi, the Fountain has received the waters of the Virgin aqueduct since the time of Augustus. The central theme of the work is the sea, and the Baroque meets classicism, in perfect harmony. The Trevi Fountain has been a film set, the scene of events and the stage for large parties.

PIAZZA NAVONA

One of the squares most dear to Romans and tourists, is Piazza Navona, an ideal place to entertain yourself while sitting comfortably at the table of a café among sculptures and Baroque architecture. Piazza Navona stands in the place of the ancient stadium of Domitian (hence its oval shape), wanted by the emperor to host athletics competitions.

ST. PETER’S BASILICA

With its Michelangelo dome and monumental façade, St. Peter’s Basilica dominates the spectacular colonnaded portico of St. Peter’s Square, Bernini’s architectural masterpiece. Heart of the Catholic Church, the Basilica stands where in 324 Constantine built a sanctuary in honor of the First Apostle who was crucified and buried in that very place.
