Rome, the heart of Italy and the eternal city is recognized for its history, architecture, and spirit that has captivated travelers for millennia. From its founding in 753 BC to its role as the epicenter of the Roman Empire and its lasting influence in art, culture, and religion, Rome offers an exceptional journey through time.
The Colosseum: A Monumental Legacy
At the forefront of Rome's historical landmarks stands the Colosseum, an architectural and engineering masterpiece that has stood the test of time.
Officially known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, this iconic structure represents the essence of Roman ingenuity and the gladiatorial spirit of ancient times.
Built under Emperor Vespasian and completed by his son Titus in 80 AD, the Colosseum could host over 50,000 spectators, watching gladiator fights, public shows, and historical plays that demonstrated the greatness of the Roman Empire.
Arch of Constantine: The Triumph of Power
A stone's throw from the Colosseum stands the Arch of Constantine, a triumphal arch celebrating Emperor Constantine's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge.
Built by the Roman Senate in 315 AD, the Arch of Constantine marks 10 years of Constantine's rule and celebrates his big win in battle. Its detailed carvings and special messages show off the style and big ideas of Constantine's time.
A City of Infinite Layers
Rome's magic lies not only in its grand landmarks but also in its very essence. The phrase "non basta una vita," which means "a lifetime is not enough," embodies the infinite layers of Rome.
From the winding streets of Trastevere to the majestic Vatican City, from the panoramic views at Palatine Hill to the bustling Piazza Navona, each corner of Rome offers a story, a slice of history, and an artistic marvel.
