Rome was the ancient world's spiritual and political center, with unrivaled historical treasures waiting to be discovered.

As one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, Rome offers stories behind each stone, painting, and colonnade that are as impressive as the sights themselves.

The relationship between Pope Julius II and Michelangelo led to the creation of stunning frescoes, marking an important era in Rome's history.

First-time visitors should explore the Colosseum, the massive arena that symbolizes Rome today, which hosted gladiator fights and entertainment in ancient times.

Don't miss the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, showcasing historic temples and Triumphal arches, as well as the unique Pantheon with its domed roof.
