The Best Places to Visit in Rome
The Colosseum and the Constantine's Arch
- The Colosseum was Roman antiquity's largest iconic structure, and it served as a model for sports stadiums in the past and acts as Rome's best place to visit during the holiday.
- Vespasian began construction in AD 72, and when his son Titus expanded it by adding a fourth storey, completed in AD 80 with a series of magnificent games.
- The Colosseum can host theatrical performances, festivals, circuses, or sports, viewed by the Imperial Court and top leaders, aristocratic Roman families on the second, and the general public on the third and fourth levels.

- The trap doors and underground passages are still readily accessible at this location, but there are also full-fledged performance staging spaces to visit.
The Pantheon
- A historic Roman temple in Rome, Italy, the Pantheon has become a Catholic church since 609.
- When you visit Campus Martius today, you feel as though you have been transported back to the time of the Roman Empire itself. It is known as the "sphinx of the Campus Martius" because of the mysteries that are given by its look, history, and location in Rome.
- Hadrian restored it, and it was probably built about 126 AD. The Pantheon was reconstructed following a fire in AD 80, and it demonstrates the Roman architects' extraordinary technical skill.
- Its 43-meter dome hangs suspended without apparent supports – carefully concealed within the walls – and the building's nine-meter central vent is the single light source.
- Even though the early Christian emperors prohibited Christians from worshipping in this heathen temple, Pope Boniface IV dedicated it to the Virgin and all Christian martyrs in 609.
Roman Forum
- The history of the forum has been entwined with that of the Western world and the Roman Empire for many years.
- It feels like you've travelled back in time when you enter the forum, which is now found in the middle of a bustling modern metropolis.
- Travellers continue to be amazed by the monument's standing and missing columns, triumphal arches, and wall fragments while on vacation.
- In Roman political and religious life, here is where the courts, markets, and gathering places were.
- After the seventh century, structures started to deteriorate, and among the wreckage were built churches and fortifications.
- Travellers occasionally skip the Roman Forum, but if you're taking a tour of the Vatican City, make sure to set aside some time to see this remarkable historical site.
- Even though the ruins are riddled with riddles, they also provide a unique window into Roman culture.
