  Colosseum

  The exterior of the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an impressive symbol of ancient Roman engineering and architectural prowess, constructed between AD 70-80 under Emperor Vespasian and his son Titus. Its grand façade features three levels of towering arches adorned with columns in the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders, showcasing the Roman mastery of design and aesthetics. Originally, the structure was covered in travertine limestone, giving it a majestic appearance that could accommodate up to 50,000 to 80,000 spectators for gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, and other events. Over centuries, the Colosseum has endured earthquakes, stone robbing, and modern development, yet it remains a powerful emblem of Rome’s imperial history and architectural innovation, drawing millions of visitors from around the world.

  Circo Massimo

  The Circus Maximus, located in Rome, is one of the world's oldest and largest ancient Roman entertainment venues, with origins dating back to the 6th century BCE, traditionally attributed to the early kings of Rome. Originally a simple chariot racing track, it was expanded and renovated multiple times, reaching its peak in the Roman Empire, especially during the Republican and Imperial periods. The circus could accommodate up to 150,000 spectators who gathered to watch chariot races, which were among the most popular and thrilling events in ancient Rome. Its elongated oval shape, measured about 2,000 meters in length, with a central barrier called the spina decorated with obelisks and statues, served as the focal point of the races. Over time, the Circus Maximus fell into disuse, especially after the decline of the Roman Empire, but its ruins remain a testament to Rome’s grand entertainment culture and engineering ingenuity.

  Ghetto Ebraico di Roma

  The Jewish Ghetto of Rome, established in 1555 by Pope Paul IV, was a designated area where the Jewish community was confined and restricted from certain activities, reflecting the broader context of European anti-Semitism during that period. Located in the rione Sant'Angelo, the ghetto was a hub of Jewish life, culture, and resilience despite harsh restrictions, including special laws and segregated living conditions. Over the centuries, it became a vibrant neighborhood known for its synagogues, traditional cuisine, and cultural heritage. The ghetto's history is marked by periods of hardship, such as expulsions and persecution, but also by remarkable perseverance and contributions to Rome’s cultural fabric. Today, the historic area remains a poignant reminder of this complex history, with landmarks like the Great Synagogue and the Jewish Museum of Rome offering insights into the community's enduring legacy.

The shape of the square still reflects the stadium's elongated oval form, with its lively atmosphere enhanced by Baroque architecture and fountains. During the Middle Ages, it evolved into a bustling marketplace and social hub, eventually becoming a showcase for grand fountains and palaces in the 17th century, notably Bernini's stunning Fountain of the Four Rivers. Over the centuries, Piazza Navona has remained a vibrant center of Roman life, celebrated for its artistic heritage, historical significance, and lively street performances, making it a captivating symbol of Rome’s layered history.

  Pantheon

  The Pantheon in Rome, originally built as a temple dedicated to all gods, dates back to around 27 BC during the reign of Marcus Agrippa, but the current structure was rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian around 118-128 AD after the original was damaged by fire. Renowned for its massive dome with a central oculus, it epitomizes ancient Roman engineering and architectural innovation, serving as a temple, church, and mausoleum over the centuries. The Pantheon’s perfect proportions, inscription honoring Agrippa, and the oculus that illuminates its interior showcase its significance as a symbol of Roman ingenuity and spirituality. Today, it remains one of the best-preserved ancient Roman buildings and a major tourist attraction, still in use as a Catholic church and a testament to Rome’s enduring legacy.

  Piazza Venezia / Ancient City

  Piazza Venezia, located at the heart of Rome, has a rich history dating back to medieval times when it was a bustling marketplace and a strategic crossroads. Its prominence grew significantly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the construction of the monumental Vittorio Emanuele II Monument (Altare della Patria), built to honor Italy’s first king and symbolizing national unity. The square became a focal point of political and social activity, especially during Italy’s Fascist era, when Mussolini’s regime used the area for rallies and parades, shaping its modern appearance. Today, Piazza Venezia serves as a central hub connecting key historical sites like the Roman Forum and Capitoline Hill, embodying Italy’s layered history from ancient times through modern political transformations.
