The magnificence of Rome and its grandeur are recognizable as soon as you arrive in the city. From colossal monuments, to the ancient Imperial Forums, from Baroque art steeped in the most important squares of the capital to the Colosseum, an undisputed symbol of the power and might of such a vast and great empire, from Renaissance palaces to those of contemporary art and then the gardens, stunning views.
