Colle Aventino
The Villa del Priorato di Malta stands on the Aventine Hill. It is the
historic seat of the Grand Priory of Rome of the Knights of Malta,
today the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which houses the
embassy to the Italian Republic. He has enjoyed the right of
extraterritoriality since 1869.
The small square, however, is known above all because from the
keyhole of the entrance gate, you can enjoy one of the most
evocative views.
You will have a beautiful surprise!

stadium of today, there were merchants who sold snacks and
drinks and a place where citizens can gather and socialize. The

Bocca della Verita
It is believed to have been made around the 4th century BC. It is
said that it was used as a cap of sewage during the Roman
Empire but we don't know if it is true. In medieval times, when
they interrogated someone politically, they put the criminals hand
into the mouth of this statue and warned them that their
hand would be cut off unless they tell the truth. Since then, it has
been called "the mouth of truth." In the film , it
was this place where Audrey Hepburn and her partner put their
hands in it and they joked that they had lost their hands.

Trevi Fountain
There are many fountains in Rome. Amongst them is the Trevi
Fountain which is considered to be the most beautiful. The Trevi
Fountain is decorated with intricate sculptures and it is one of the
most spectacular fountains in the world. If you take a look closely,
you will see Poseidon, the God of the sea located in the middle. It
was made of one huge stone and designed in the Baroque style
in the 18th century. Also, the Trevi Fountain is full of various coins
from around the world. People throw their coins with their right
hands over their left shoulder, with their back to the fountain.
There is a myth that the first coin that you throw into the fountain
will lead you into coming back to Rome. The second one means
that you will meet someone who you will love forever, and the
third one means that you will separate with your lover. If you want
to revisit Rome soon, throw a coin in with your wish.

Piazza di Spagna
Another landmark of Rome, Spanish Square. It is a well-known
square where Audrey Hepburn ate gelato in the movie . During the 17th century, it was the site of the Spanish
Consulate, hence the name, the Spanish Square. The steps
consist of 137 steps. Above the stairs, Trinita dei Monti Cathedral
Bell Tower and Obelisk are located which create a wonderful
atmosphere. As it is one of the most famous landmarks in Rome,
it is always crowded with people.

Piazza del Popolo
Popolo Square means a square of the public and is a round
plaza. There is a Port Popolo which serves as a gateway
between Rome and the outside world, before the construction of
Termini station, the main station of Rome. In the middle of the
square, there is a huge obelisk that was pillaged by Emperor
Augustus's conquest of Egypt. In the center of the square, you
will see the Santa Maria dei Miracoli Cathedral and the Sana
Maria Montesanto Cathedral which stand like twins.

Pantheon
A pantheon is the temple of all gods. It is a round shaped Roman
temple. There are elaborate sculptures of Catholic saints inside of
Pantheon. The highlight of the visit is its ceiling as it is impressive
to have a dome without a pole. For two thousand years, its dome
without a pillar hasn't collapsed at all. Also, the sunlight
mysteriously comes into the center of this dome and rain does
not enter into of the dome. This is a very scientifically intelligent
design. The rain either passes by the hole or spontaneously
evaporates because of the pressure difference due to the rising
of hot air from the pantheon.

Piazza Navona
This is the most vibrant square in Rome. There are many
restaurants and cafes around the plaza so it's a great place to
enjoy a cup of coffee enjoy the view of the square. Street artists
often perform at the square making the place more alive during
the day and night. There are three fountains in Navona Square:
Nettuno Fountain, Fiumi Fountain, and Moro fountain. Two
fountains on either end were designed by Bernini
and constructed by Giovanni Antonio Mari. In the Fuimi fountain,
there is the obelisk that was pillaged from Egypt which is
regarded as a representative work of Bernini. Also visit
Sant'Agnese In Agone Church which is a baroque style
cathedral, built in the 17th century. It is built right in front of
Navona Square where Saint Agnese, one of the four Christian
woman saints, was tied naked by someone who tried
to surrender her faith. At that time, there was a miracle that her
hair grew long enough to cover her entire body.

St. Peter's Square
Vatican is the smallest country in the world whose state religion is
Catholic. It is located in Rome but is an independent country and
there is a rigorous security check to enter Vatican. When the
pope stays in Vatican, he meets the public on Wednesdays and
speaks to the public on Sundays.
When you go up to the Michelangelo Dome, you can look down
the street of St. Peter's Square to the Castle of the Holy Angel.
The square and streets are shaped like a key to heaven. The key
is the symbol of Saint Peter. In the Vatican Museum, there are a
number of famous works such as Michelangelo's The Creation of
the World, The Last Judgment, and Raffaello's The School of
Athens.
We recommend that you wear long sleeves because if you wear
shorts that show your knees or exposed exposed shoulders, you
may be denied entry
