Ruins · Fountains · Nightlife
From ancient ruins and early Christian catacombs, to Renaissance churches and Baroque piazzas, historical places in Rome captivate both history buffs and art aficionados. One of the city's most visited attractions, Colosseum evokes the atmosphere of gladiatorial combats and animal fights. The tunnels and graves at Catacombe di San Callisto preserve the legacy of early Christianity. Featuring an outstanding collection of Classical sculptures and Renaissance art, Vatican Museums exemplify the wealth and grandeur of the Roman Catholic Church, so far removed from its humble beginnings. At Piazza Navona, you can observe remarkable Baroque architecture blending with contemporary alfresco restaurants and street art.
