Visit Rome - a historical city
By David Chandler
Do you bear a passion for history? Are you interested in ancient
architecture and temples? Do age-long and legendary activities
beckon you? If so, then you must definitely explore the ancient
lands of Rome, at least once in your lifetime.
With an area of about 150 square kilometers, and a population of
3.8 million, Rome still stands tall in the vast field of world history.
Whenever we come across Rome, Etruscan tombs, Republican
meeting rooms, Imperial temples, ancient Christian churches,
medieval bell towers, Renaissance palaces, and Baroque basilicas
strike the core of our mind and we enter the superficial world of
history and architecture. Rome takes us through the pages of
history.
Rome is situated halfway down Italy's western coast, about 20
kilometers inland. Rome is a large city, though the historical area
is quite small. A majority of the Rome historical sights are
restricted within a reasonable distance of the central railway
station, Stazione Termini. All the main Rome monuments are
situated west of the train station in Rome. However, it is always
advisable to use the map of Rome, once you arrive in Rome.
Attractions
The central attractions of Rome are the Palatine Hill and the Forum.
Via Del Corso is located north from the Forum to Piazza Del Popolo,
accompanied by Spanish steps and the Trevi Fountain on the east.
The Vatican in Rome is situated northwest of the Forum, across the
River Tiber in Rome.
Rome offers a great deal of pleasure with the likes of the
arrogance of the Vatican, the immemorial haunting memories of the
Coliseum or the sheer thrill of going back to centuries ago of
timeless history.
Rome offers you a wide range of excitement, adventure, and
enjoyment. The thrill and sheer experience of Rome is very
distinctive and unique. Rome gives you the liberty to thrive on
wine, architecture, history, and sunshine.
