Centre of the world and of the Roman Empire
Rome, Italy's capital, rises on the banks of the Tevere
about 25 kilometers from its main outlet in the Tyrhennian
Sea. It is situated at the center of an undulating plain,
the Campagna Romana, which is confined one side by the
hills of Monte Mario, Gianicolo and Monteverde and on the
other side by smaller hills of volcanic origin - the
so-called "Seven Hills".
Two thousand years of history have made the artistic and
architectural patrimony of Rome so rich that the tourist
feels overwhelmed. Thus it is preferable to outline a
precise program and to fix determined objectives,
according to one's taste and the amount of time available
