Things to do in Rome will start from its symbol: the Colosseum. The Colosseum, the construction of the Flavian Amphitheater, better known as the Roman Coliseum, began around AD 7 under the Emperor Vespasian. The Colosseum became the largest Roman amphitheater, with an elliptical structure of 188 meters long, 156 meters wide and 57 meters high. Made in brick and covered with travertine, it was divided into five levels with a capacity for more than 50,000 people.

Close to the Colosseum, you will walk into the Imperial Fora, a monumental architectural complex, formed by a series of buildings and monumental squares, the centre of the political activity of ancient Rome, built in a period of about 150 years, between 46 BC and 113 AD. If you get there during the sunset, you will enjoy the special lights of the Roman skyes.

Walking toward the centre, you will find another beauty, the Pantheon, the only ancient Roman building remained nearly intact through the centuries. The Pantheon’s dome, is the largest hemispherical dome ever built in unreinforced concrete. Despite being so ancient, with its internal diameter of 44.30 m, the dome of the Pantheon is still the largest hemispherical dome ever built in unreinforced concrete.

According to tradition, St. Peter’s Basilica is built on the site of the tomb of the apostle Peter, which dates back to the year 60. He was crucified in the circus of Nero next door. The foundations of the basilica were then completed, and the works begun in 315 were completed eleven years later. During the Renaissance, Bernini was entrusted with the redesign of the place from 1629, in particular by building the great colonnade, between 1656 and 1665.

The Trevi Fountain with its 26 meters high and 20 wide is one of the largest fountains in all of Rome. Famous throughout the world for its majesty, its history has very ancient roots. From 19 d.c. to 1700, emperors and popes took turns until the restoration in 2014. Famous the scene with Anita Ekberg walking into the fountain during the Dolce Vita movie.

Piazza di Spagna, with the Spanish Steps, is one of the most famous in Rome. It owes its name to the palace of Spain, seat of the Iberian state embassy to the Holy See. In the center of the square there is the famous Barcaccia fountain, which dates back to the early Baroque period, built by Pietro Bernini and his son, the most famous Gian Lorenzo.

Piazza Navona, at the time of ancient Rome, was the Stadium of Domitian which was built by the emperor Domitian in 85 and in the third century it was restored by Alexander Severus. It was 265 meters long, 106 meters wide and could accommodate 30,000 spectators. Piazza Navona is one of the most famous monumental squares in Rome, built in the monumental style by the Pamphili family at the behest of Pope Innocent X with the typical shape of an ancient stadium.
