Rome, the capital of Italy, is also called the “Eternal City.” It is famous for being the main city of the legendary Roman Empire. It also contains the famous Seven Hills and Vatican City. This city has been a millennium-long center of culture, religion and power. Rome has had a strong influence across the globe in its twenty-seven hundred years of existence.
Visitors enjoy seeing Rome’s monumental buildings, such as the Colosseum, which was built when emperors like Nero ruled the Roman Empire. There is also the impressive Pantheon which was created more than eighteen hundred years ago. A must see for most tourists is the popular Trevi Fountain which is one of the most beautiful fountains in the city.
Today, most of Rome’s beauty is due to the Renaissance period, a time when attractive squares were built like the Piazza del Campidoglio. Also at this time amazing churches like Saint Peter’s Basilica, the world’s largest cathedral, were built. Visitors can experience so much when they visit this vibrant city.
