One of Rome’s most famous squares, Piazza del Popolo was historically the city's main entrance for travelers coming from the north. At its center stands a 3,000-year-old Egyptian obelisk brought to Rome by Emperor Augustus. The square is framed by the beautiful twin churches of Santa Maria in Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli, creating perfect symmetry. Overlooking it is the Pincian Hill, offering a stunning panoramic view of the city

Rome’s most famous fountain and a masterpiece of Trevi Fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world and a masterpiece of Baroque art. Designed by Nicola Salvi in the 18th century, it features the god Oceanus at its center, riding a shell-shaped chariot pulled by sea horses. According to tradition, tossing a coin into the fountain with your right hand over your left shoulder ensures your return to Rome. Every day, thousands of visitors take part in this ritual, contributing to the city's charities.

Built over 2,000 years ago, the Pantheon is one of the most well-preserved monuments of Ancient Rome. Originally a temple dedicated to all gods, it was later converted into a church. Its most remarkable feature is its massive dome, still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. The central oculus, open to the sky, allows natural light to illuminate the interior, creating a unique and mystical atmosphere.

Piazza Navona is one of Rome’s most beautiful and lively squares, built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian. It is famous for its three fountains, including the stunning Fountain of the Four Rivers by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, which represents the four major rivers of the known continents in the 17th century. The square is surrounded by elegant Baroque buildings and cafés, making it a perfect spot to experience the city's vibrant atmosphere.

Piazza Venezia is one of Rome’s busiest squares, located at the intersection of several major roads. It is dominated by the grand Vittorio Emanuele II Monument, also known as the ‘Altar of the Fatherland,’ built in honor of Italy’s first king. The square is also home to Palazzo Venezia, once the residence of popes and later the headquarters of Mussolini during World War II. This historic location connects the modern city to the heart of ancient Rome

The Colosseum is the most iconic symbol of Rome and one of the greatest architectural wonders of the ancient world. Built in the 1st century AD, it was the largest amphitheater ever constructed, hosting gladiator battles, animal hunts, and public spectacles for over 50,000 spectators.

It is known for its historical significance, as it was the site of battles led by the Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi during the fight for Italian unification.
