Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is the largest and most famous Baroque fountain in Rome.
Pantheon
There has been a version of the Pantheon standing on this spot for over 2000 years. The original temple was built in 27 B.C. by Marcus Agrippa, the same general who built the Aqua Virgo aqueduct.
Piazza Navona
In the 1st century A.D., this was the site of the Circus Agonalis, or competition arena. Built by Emperor Domitian for sporting events and chariot races, the arena was even larger then the Colosseum. The name “Agonalis” is believed to have changed to “N’agona” over the years, and eventually to present - day “Navo na.”
Area Sacra di Largo Argentina
In addition to containing the ruins of four ancient temples, this sacred area is also the site of one of history’s most notorious assassinations.
Chiesa Del Gesu
Its full name is “The Church of the Most Holy Name of Jesus,” but it is most commonly called simply “Gesù.”
Piazza del Campidoglio
The trapezoidal plaza, known as the Campidoglio, was designed by Michelangelo in the mid - 1500s, but the hill’s history dates back to Ancient Rome.
Roman Forum
Located in the valley between Capitoline and Velian Hill, this area was originally a deserted marshland
