many of Rome’s ancient remains. The amphitheatre was created as a place to indulge the imperial need for cruel and blood thirsty displays and other public spectacles. Today, it is an awe inspiring tribute to Roman architecture and engineering, and is a sacred spot where Christian martyrs had met their fate.
The Pantheon is one of the most recognisable attractions with its triangular portico and granite columns. An architectural marvel of ancient Rome, the Pantheon boasts as being one of the widest domes in Europe with a giant oculus providing light to the pagan temple interior below, now used as a Christian church. Here Raphael, the Renaissance artist beloved by the Italian people and art lovers everywhere, is entombed alongside Italy’s kings.
With so much to see it’s important to appreciate the treasures of Rome at your own pace. The majority of Rome’s famous attractions are easily accessible from most hotels in Rome, where visitors can explore the city by foot with the aid of a guidebook. Of course, this may not be the most ideal way for everyone to explore Rome, but what’s the rush? After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
