    About this ebook

    Rome, Italy's capital, is a sprawling, cosmopolitan city with nearly 3,000 years of globally influential art, architecture and culture. Ancient ruins such as the Colosseum and the Forum evoke the power of the former Roman Empire. Vatican City, headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, has St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, which house masterpieces such as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes.

    This guide covers a four-day visit to Rome, Italy. Having precisely 4 days, you must be willing to work hard to experience as much of Rome as possible.

    There are extensive descriptions and color photos of the attractions for you to use during your visit.

    It has also a listing of many reviews for the best-recommended restaurants that are at walking distance from the location where lunch or dinner are planned.

      Rome in 4 days – Day 1.

      Morning

      Ancient Rome:

      A - Colosseum,

      B - Roman Forum,

      C - Piazza del Campidoglio,

      D - Pantheon.

      Afternoon

      Walk through the historical centre:

      E - Piazza Navona,

      F - Trevi Fountain,

      G - Piazza di Spagna.

      Suggestion: The late afternoon could be the right time to go on a scenic drive on the double-decker buses of the Atac 110 line that make several stops in the center.

      A – Colosseum

      Colosseum in Rome

      The Coliseum owes its name to a colossal bronze statue, representing Emperor Nero, more than 35 m tall, that used to stand in this area. A symbol of Rome worldwide, the Coliseum was built by the emperors of the Flavian dynasty between 72-80 AD, on the site once occupied by an artificial lake belonging to the magnificent Domus Aurea, a compound of buildings and gardens built by Nero now in ruins but with beautiful decorations which inspired Renaissance painters.

      As much as 100,000 cubic meters of travertine from the Tivoli quarries were used to build this amphitheater, the largest ever made during the Roman Empire.

      Colosseum with hypogeum

      The Coliseum could hold more than 70,000 spectators who could watch the fights between gladiators, the hunting of animals and, at the very beginning, the naumachias: naval battles that took place in the arena that was flooded.

      The architect who designed the Coliseum is said to have been thrown alive to the wild beasts as a reward for his own work, thus inaugurating the long story of blood and cruelties of the building he had conceived.

      In the Middle Ages, the Coliseum was transformed into a fortress. Later on, stripped of its structures, it became, in turn, a quarry for building materials and finally the seat of hospitals, fraternities, and craft guilds. It was only towards the middle of the 18th-century that Pope Benedict XIV had it decreed a sacred site, and the plunder and devastation were stopped.

      The Coliseum today.

      The Coliseum today is now a major tourist attraction in Rome with thousands of tourists each year paying to view the interior arena, though entrance for citizens of the European Union (EU)
