about Rome
Rome is a striking city, which origin goes back as far as 3000 years ago. It has layers of history one on top of the other and a massive concentration of monuments and antiquities. From Etruscan tombs, imperial sanctuaries and Christian sites to medieval palaces, Renaissance frescos and Baroque cathedrals - Rome has it all. It houses the largest church in the world - St. Peter and of course the Colosseum - Rome's major pride. Apart from being a world famous cultural site, Rome is a metropolis crammed with extravagant places to shop, dine and have fun. The city offers a vibrant cafe and night scene. An abundance of coffee shops is to be found on Piazza di Spagnia and Fontana di Trevi areas, where jaded travellers sip a coffee and enjoy the world go by.
