In ancient times and even now Rome was known as the largest and the most powerful empire, located between the north of England and North Africa. Later the city became the centre of Christianity and many devotees travel to Rome just to feel a little bit of the religious atmosphere that influence of the city. On more than two thousand and five hundreds years, Rome is pulsing as a modern and ancient place, full of life.
Being in Rome you can start your exploring from the Spanga Metro Station and walk to the piazza di Spagna and the Spanish steps. The steps were built in the 1720's to link the square with the French church of Trinita dei Monti, which makes they path very long, but this doesn't stop visitors to walk on it. The Rome's largest and most famous magnet for tourists is the Trevi Fountain. It is interesting to be seen like the statues of Neptune and his sea creatures tossing and in the coin, because of the believing that it will bring good luck.
Another point in Rome that must to be visited is Piazza della Rotonda, which consider to be the home of the Pantheon- one of Rome's best buildings, created by Hadrian in the second century. Behind a columned base it lies a vast doomed structure with a circular opening. The Pantheon is full of tombs of Italian kings, which come up with some mystery and antiquity.
The Colosseum, built by the Emperor Vespasian on the site of Nero's palace, is one of the greatest monuments in Rome, and it is worthy to be seen. It surrounds you with glory and greatness . A big number of animals and men died in this amphitheatre, fighting to death. There are cages left in it, that can be seen from the inside the looming structure.
Every remnant left from the Rome Empire support the great legend of Rome's beginnings by the twins- Romulus and Remus.
