What To Expect
Rome (Pass By)
Rome is the capital city of Italy and holds a unique place in history as the heart of the ancient Roman Empire. Its legendary origins are steeped in mythology, with the city traditionally founded in 753 BC according to Roman legend.
Roman Forum (Pass By)
Originally a bustling center of political, religious, and commercial activity in ancient Rome, the Forum Romanum features a remarkable array of ancient structures, including temples, basilicas, and public squares. Some of its most renowned monuments include the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and the Curia Julia, where the Roman Senate once convened.For centuries, the Forum Romanum served as the hub of Roman life, witnessing historic events, speeches, and processions. Its ruins offer a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Rome and the significance of this historical center.Today, the Roman Forum stands as an open-air museum, allowing visitors to explore the remnants of its glorious past. It offers a captivating journey through time and a chance to connect with the city's ancient heritage.
Piazza del Campidoglio (Pass By)
Designed by the renowned Renaissance artist and architect Michelangelo in the 16th century, this square is a testament to his genius and his contribution to urban planning.At the center of the Piazza del Campidoglio stands a bronze equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a striking symbol of ancient Rome. Surrounding the square are three elegant buildings: Palazzo Senatorio, the city hall; Palazzo dei Conservatori, a museum; and Palazzo Nuovo, another museum. These structures house an extensive collection of Roman art and historical artifacts.The geometric patterned pavement, known as the "cordonata," leads visitors up to the square, providing a dramatic approach to the Campidoglio. From this elevated position, the square offers breathtaking panoramic views of Rome, including the Roman Forum.
Isola Tiberina (Pass By)
The island has a rich and ancient history, dating back to Roman times when it was associated with healing temples and hospitals. One of its notable landmarks is the Basilica of Saint Bartholomew on the Island, which houses a vast collection of religious relics and artwork.Tiber Island is connected to the mainland by two bridges, creating a sense of isolation and tranquility amidst the bustling city. Its charming cobblestone streets, lined with cafes and shops, offer a serene escape for both locals and tourists.Today, Tiber Island remains a symbol of healing and well-being, with a modern hospital, Fatebenefratelli Hospital, located on one side of the island. The island's unique history and atmosphere make it a captivating destination for those seeking a blend of historical intrigue and serene relaxation in the heart of Rome.
Teatro di Marcello (Pass By)
Commissioned by Julius Caesar and later completed by Emperor Augustus, Teatro Marcello was one of the largest theaters in ancient Rome. It could accommodate thousands of spectators who gathered to watch a variety of performances, including dramas, musicals, and other entertainments.The theater's unique architectural design includes a mix of Doric and Ionic columns, with its upper levels adorned in travertine and brickwork.
