When Roaming Around Rome
Rome’s history spans over two and a half thousand years and as history displays, it is one of the founding cities of Western Civilization.
The capital city of Italy was once the centre of the Roman Empire and dominated Europe, North Africa and the Middle East for more than four hundred years. As well as fulfilling the spot as Italy’s capital, Rome is the country’s largest and most populous city with upwards of 2 million residents.
One of the main appeals of Rome is the architecture, from arches and columns to temples, theatres, baths and basilicas, the city really has it all. As one of the few major European cities that escaped World War II fairly untouched, central Rome preserves its Renaissance and Baroque roots. In fact, the historic centre of Rome is so architecturally significant it has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
