Itinerary and highlights

The catacombs are subterranean passageways that were used as place of burial for a number of centuries. The burials of Jewish, pagan and early Christian Roman citizens in the catacombs began in the second century and ended in the fifth century.

We stop for a picture on the Ancient Appian way .
The Appian Way was a crucial road for the Roman Empire. It connected Rome to some of its most distant settlements. Originally built by Appius Claudius Caecus, the then-censor of Rome, the road connected Rome to Capua near Naples. Eventually, it extended more than 300 miles to Brindisi, Puglia on the Adriatic Coast, making it the widest and longest road in existence at the time. Called the “Queen of Roads,” it’s construction was truly momentous, especially considering it was built in 312 BC!

The Aurelian Walls were constructed between 270 and 275 AD at the behest of the Emperor Aurelian, as a defence for the city from the threatened invasion of barbarians from the North of Europe.

We will then arrive at the Circus Maximus, the large ancient stadium for chariot races and different spectacles..The Circus Maximus in Rome , located between the Aventino and Palatine Hills, was an extended precinct with space for 300,000 spectators.

It's not possible to enter to the theatre but we are driving close by
The Theatre of Marcellus is an ancient open-air theatre built in the closing years of the Roman Republic. At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song.

we will take you to see the Palatine Hill from outside , the most famous hill of Rome because according the Legend more than 2700 years the city was founded right here.During the Republican Period Roman citizens belonging to the upper class settled in the Palatine Hill and built sumptuous palaces, of which important traces are still preserved.

we stop in the Pantheon , once the temple of all Roman
gods. the Pantheon is one of the architectural masterpieces and It is the best preserved building from ancient Rome.
The construction of the current Pantheon was carried out during the reign of Hadrian, in the year 126 A.D

The Victor Emmanuel II National Monument is a national monument built in honour of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy, It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill.

we visit this famous place in the heart of Rome .The Spanish Steps are a set of steps dating from 1723, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinita dei Monti at the top dominated by Trinita dei Monti Church.

we are going to visit Trevi Fountain, the most beautiful fountain in the world.Here you can toss a coin in the fountain for your wish and to ensure a return visit to Italy.

This piazza, which displays the genius of Bernini and Borromini, is one of the finest Baroque Masterpiece in papal Rome. Its harmony and colors, combined with its elegance, give it a charm that is enhanced by the surprising contrast of architecturally sober houses alternating with a number of monumental Buildings .
The most beautiful parts of Piazza Navona are its three fountains, designed during the papacy of Gregory XIII
