The monuments and landmarks of Rome

All tourists dream of the Trevi Fountain!: The monuments and landmarks of Rome

If Venice is famous for its canals, Rome is famous for its monuments and essential places of world heritage discovery. Even if you have to visit it several times to discover everything, we offer you a selection of some of the  emblematic places of Rome  to prepare your trip!
The Colosseum and the Roman Forum
The visit of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum is essential on a trip to Rome. In fact, the Colosseum is a huge ancient amphitheater where gladiators fought in the time of the Roman Empire. As much as possible has been preserved, so visiting this thousand-year-old building is particularly impressive.
The Forum, for its part, represents the ancient remains of Rome in Italy. Among the buildings that can be discovered, are:
The temple of Romulus.
The arches of Augustus.
The temple of Caesar.
The Basilica Emilia.
The Argiletum.
The Temple of Concord.
The Arch of Septimius Severus.
The temple of Vesta.
The temple of Saturn.
The visit, with map in hand, takes place in a few hours and immerses you in Roman history, but it is also part of our history!
The Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is a religious building of the Vatican that is very famous throughout the world for its frescoes painted by Michelangelo. These paintings narrate some events in the Bible, from Genesis to the Last Judgment . Despite the fact that the queue to access it can be long in high season, it is a place that you cannot miss!
The Trevi Fountain
In the modern center of Rome is the largest fountain in the city : the Trevi Fountain. Every year it attracts many, many tourists who go to flip a coin there, a superstitious gesture that is supposed to make wishes come true. The fountain represents Neptune, the Roman god of the sea (Poseidon in Greece).
