The most ancient city of Rome to this day amazes with its grandeur, beauty and unique atmosphere. Everything is fine in it, from ancient architectural monuments to modern buildings, unique museums, entertainment centers, spacious squares and parks.
The history of this city goes back thousands of years, and the originality of its appearance can amaze even experienced travelers.
The abundance of cultural, architectural, historical sights here is such that an inexperienced traveler can easily get lost. That is why it is worth forming a clear route before the trip.
You can start your acquaintance with Rome from the Vatican Museums. These objects were founded by Pope Julius II at the beginning of the 16th century. It houses one of the richest collections of fine and decorative applied arts in the world. The total area of halls and corridors of museums reaches 7 km. The collections are varied and amazing. Here you can see Egyptian mummies, bronze artifacts of the ancient Etruscans, ancient busts, examples of classical painting, as well as modern works.
The highlight of the collection is the collection of classical sculptures that are kept in the Pio-Clementino Museum, as well as Raphael's frescoes, which occupy several exhibition halls at once. Michelangelo's famous Sistine Chapel is also a real delight.
It is impossible to imagine Rome without the ancient Colosseum, where gladiator fights took place hundreds of years ago. The object appeared in 80 AD. The stands could accommodate 50 thousand spectators. The amphitheater itself was built of the strongest material - travertine and was covered with a giant canopy stretched between 240 masts. The arena was erected above the hypogeum dungeon, where the animals were kept, the scenery was prepared. The action taking place in the arena involved the fights of gladiators with wild animals, as well as among themselves. It is difficult to imagine something like this in the modern world. However, the Colosseum is a tacit reminder of the reality of events that have almost become legends.
The richest basilica in the country is the Cathedral of St. Peter, whose mystical and luxurious appearance captures the imagination at first sight. The inside of the temple contains a huge collection of works of art. The most valuable of these are Michelangelo's Pieta and Bernini's 29-meter canopy, which hovers over the altar.
