An archaeological panorama unique worldwide that includes masterpieces of medieval art built through the centuries. The Roman Forum boasts prestigious monuments, such as the Temple of Vespasian and Titus, the Temple of Antoninus Pius and Faustina and the Arch of Septimius Severus.
The largest amphitheater in the world, icon of Rome and Italy’s most visited monument. Well known for its exceptional architecture, takes its name from a colossal statue that stood nearby.
The Christians of Rome began to excavate their own community cemeteries (known today as ‘catacombs’) at the beginning of the second half of the 2nd century AD, when a few wealthy families, having been converted to the Christian faith, donated their lands to the Church. The catacombs are extremely important for the history of Early Christian art, as they contain the great majority of examples from before about 400 AD, in fresco and sculpture.
The finest example of great Roman baths and one of the biggest thermal complexes in antiquity. Ordered by Emperor Septimius Severus but opened by his son Caracalla in 216 A.D., the baths have a rectangular layout, typical of the “great Imperial baths”, and served as inspiration for many other notable buildings, such as the Baths of Diocletian and the Basilica of Maxentius.
