No
other city in the world equals the history of the Eternal
City. Founded more than 2700 years ago, the city of
Rome reigned as the Caput Mundi, or Capital of the World.
Monumental buildings like the Pantheon
and the Colosseum are
reminiscent of the era when emperors like Nero, Trajan
and Hadrian ruled the Roman empire.
But todays Rome owes much of its attractiveness to the
Renaissance period when new squares like the Campidoglio
were developed and new buildings were constructed. The
most famous of these buildings is the largest church
in the world, the Saint
Peter's Basilica.
