Jounrey to the Past ITALY’S HOT-BLOODED CAPITAL IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST ROMANTIC AND INSPIRING CITIES

Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rome was first the centre of the Roman Republic, then of the Roman Empire, and it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century. The center of Rome is compact, and wandering the ruins on foot is a great way to see the city. Street life is vibrant and constant. The architectural design is consuming, and close proximity of ancient sights make for a comfortable and convenient walk. For instance, the Colosseum is approximately one-and-a-half miles from the Spanish steps. One route travels by the Forum, Piazza Venezia, and several churches, passing through charming neighborhoods. A longer, more scenic route weaves from the Colosseum to the Vatican. Most major monuments are west of the train station. The Pantheon and Trevi Fountain are a short

detour away. The Palatine Hill and the Forum are the center of ancient Rome. Via del Corso runs north from the Forum to Piazza del Popola, and Trevi Fountain is to the east. The Vatican is northwest of the Forum, across the Tiber River. Small patches of central Rome have sidewalks and streets closed to cars for use by cyclists and scooters. Rome’s perfect climate and stunning scenery beckon many people into the plentiful city parks. People don’t have to travel far to experience park settings and exquisite monuments. The Trevi Fountain, begun by Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) in 1640, is a perfect example. The Roman Forum’s archaeological area is a public garden in itself that is open from morning until sunset.

SixFacts about Rome

1.

YOU CAN MAKE A LOT OF MONEY FROM THE TREVI FOUNTAIN.

Rome’s perfect climate and stunning scenery beckon many people into the plentiful city parks. People don’t have to travel far to experience park settings and exquisite monuments. The Trevi Fountain, begun by Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) in 1640, is a perfect example. The Roman Forum’s archaeological area is a public garden in itself that is open from morning until sunset.

2.

ROME CONTAINS THE WORLDS’ SMALLEST STATE.

Rome has the world’s smallest state located entirely within its city limits. It is the Vatican City, which is a sovereign state inside Rome. Inside the Vatican City, you can find 11 Vatican Museums with the restored Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and beautiful Vatican Gardens. The Vatican museum is the largest museum complex in the world as it consists of over 1000 museums.

3.

THE COLOSSEUM WAS NOT CALLED “THE COLOSSEUM”.

When it was finished in 80AD it would have been referred to as the “Amphitheatrium Flavium”, because it was constructed by the Flavian dynasty of emperors – notably Vespasian, who started it, and Titus, who finished it. “Colosseum” came into parlance circa 1000AD – but even then, did not directly mean the amphitheatre. It referred to an enormous statue – a colossus, even – of a former emperor (probably Nero) which stood outside, but has since vanished.

4.

ROME’S CATS HAVE SPECIAL RIGHTS!

One of the cutest facts about Rome that may surprise you is that it’s a city full of cats: you can find them anywhere and everywhere climbing, sleeping and just being cats. Also, there is a reason for that; there is a strict law that protects them and their freedom to enjoy the city, and there are organizations that take care and feed them. There’s an estimate of 180.000 free living cats in Rome!

5.

THERE ARE OVER 900 CHURCHES IN MODERN ROME.

TRAVEL COLLECTION 2018/19

If you want to go to church in Rome, you are certainly going to have a plethora of different options to choose from. There are well over 900 different churches in modern Rome. Some of these churches are very old buildings that have been in the city for a long time and others are more modern structures. You will definitely be able to find churches that have beautiful architecture for you to marvel at.

6.

THE ROMAN FORUM EXCAVATION TOOK OVER 100 YEARS.

The Roman Forum known but was not rediscovered until archeologist Carlo Fea in 1803 began excavations. The excavations to clear the Roman Forum took over 100 years and it wasnt until the 20th century that it became fully excavated. When the Roman Empire fell, the Roman Forum became abondoned and many of the monuments and buildings were plundered and used in other areas of the city including the walls of the Vatican and many of Rome’s churches.
