Visit Italy: the best known monuments

On the Italian peninsula there are many monuments to visit. This is just a tiny recap of some of the most relevant:

The Duomo of Milan, sacred place: Visit Italy: the best known monuments

In the capital of Italian fashion we find one of the most visited architectural pieces on the peninsula: the Milan Cathedral , also known as the Duomo di Milano .
This spectacular religious building of Gothic character is a clear example of the magnificent historical and artistic heritage of the city (and the country).
In addition, if you dare to go up, you will be able to enjoy exceptional views of Milan. All these secrets will be told to you by our teachers in the Italian course Barcelona .

The ruins of Pompeii, vestiges of an ancient history: Visit Italy: the best known monuments

In 79 AD, the city of Pompeii was buried under the lava of Vesuvius , the nearby volcano. The ruins of the city still stand, witnessing a tragic history near the Bay of Naples.
The Tower of Pisa is one of those monuments that you cannot miss.
It is a true historical marvel , so it would be a shame if you overlooked it on your visit to the country.

The Roman forum, the past glory of the Empire

In the heart of the capital, between the buses and the narrowest alleys, the Roman Forum , the old public square of the city, still stands, on which the most important temples and administrative buildings were located.
Today you can visit the ruins , between the hills of the Capitol and Palatine Hill, which include:
The Temple of Vespasian.
The Temple of Concord.
The temple of Saturn.
The Arch of Septimius Severus.
The Basilica Julia.
The temple of Dioscures.
The temple of Castor and Pollux.
The Temple of Antoninus and Faustina.
The Arch of Titus.
The arches of Augustus.
Keep in mind that you will need at least half a day to visit all these enclaves and immerse yourself in the ancient history of Rome.

The Tower of Pisa, a leaning wonder

We do not even have to present this well-known “crooked” tower that has made the city of Pisa famous.
Built from the 12th century on, it served as a bell tower for the nearby cathedral, Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. As is evident, it is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage and the view from its top is incredible.
Surprising fact: Since 2013, the tower appears to be straightening on its own (4cm in 2018) after centuries of falling.

The Colosseum, symbol of the greatness of Rome

This iconic monument of the Eternal City is the best-known amphitheater in Italy .
Built under the rule of the emperors Vespasian and Titus, the Colosseum is the largest construction of Roman antiquity and today it is the most visited monument in the capital .\

Do you know what budget you have?

Inside you can discover the ancient stands and the subsoils of the sand that today is very deteriorated by the passage of time. It is missing some parts, but with a little effort of imagination you will appreciate the grandeur of this battlefield and this entertainment space adored by the Romans.
