Auditorium Parco della Musica, Modern Center
moyenne

Rome's huge performing arts centerâ€”a startling complex designed by superstar architect Renzo Pianoâ€”is the success story of recent years, shaking up the city's once-sleepy cultural scene.
The three state-of-the-art concert halls, plus hyperactive bookshops, restaurants, bars, and outdoor performance area, are located about 15 minutes out of the city in a northern suburb.
The venue is packed day and night with a variegated crowd drawn by a truly eclectic, democratic program ranging from the highest of highbrow classical through folk, jazz, world music, and electronic crossover.

Castel Sant Angelo, Vatican City
à bas prix

The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as the Castel Sant'Angelo, is a towering cylindrical building in Rome.

It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family.

The building was later used by the popes as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum.

The popes converted the structure into a castle, from the 14th century; Pope Nicholas III connected the castle to St. Peter's Basilica by a covered fortified corridor called the Passetto di Borgo. The fortress was the refuge of Pope Clement VII from the siege of Charles V's Landsknecht during the Sack of Rome (1527), in which Benvenuto Cellini describes strolling the ramparts and shooting enemy soldiers.

The Castel Sant'Angelo appeared in Dan Brown's 2000 novel Angels & Demons. The location was the secret lair for the Hassassin and was seen as the last existing church of the Illuminati. The book also emphasized the Passetto di Borgo as a secret way of getting from the Vatican to the castle. It also appears in the 2009 motion picture, Angels & Demons, as one of the locations where a clue that leads to the papal assassin resides.

The castle appeared in the film Roman Holiday in a scene taking place on barges on the river below.

Fontana di Trevi, Modern Center
for free

The Trevi fountain, inspired by Roman triumphal arches, is the largest and most famous Baroque fountain in Rome (standing 25.9 meters high and 19.8 meters wide).
In 1629, Pope Urban VIII, asked Bernini to sketch possible renovations of the fountain, finding it insufficiently theatrical. After the Pope's death the project was abandoned. Bernini's lasting contribution was to situate the fountain from the other side of the square to face the Quirinal Palace (so that the Pope could see and enjoy it).
The Trevi Fountain as we know it today, was designed by Nicola Salvi in 1732 and competed in 1762.
The central figures of the fountain are Neptun (God of the sea), flanked by two Tritons. One struggles to master a veru unruly "sea horse", the other lead a far more docile animal. These symbolize the two contrasting moods of the sea.

Il Colosseo (Colosseum), Old Rome
cher

Vespasian began building the Colosseum - which has hosted gory battles between combinations of gladiators, slaves, prisoners and wild animals of all descriptions - in AD 72 on the site of a newly drained lake in the grounds of Nero's Domus Aurea.

Restoration carried out in 2001 opened up much larger areas of the arena to the public, including a reconstructed section of the sand-covered wood floor that allows visitors to walk across a platform and look down into the elevator shafts through which animals emerged, via trapdoors, into the arena.

The top rows of the Colosseum are the best vantage point from which to appreciate the massive scale of the building.

Orto Botanico, Gianicolo
moyenne

The Orto Botanico was once the garden of Palazzo Corsini, the imposing adjacent mansion which belonged to various notables over the years, including Queen Christina of Sweden. Since the late nineteenth century the garden has belonged to Rome University.

The garden is large and varied, with a huge array of species. Some plants are cared for in greenhouses, others thrive on the surprisingly wild upper slopes. Decayed fountains, ponds and staircases give a very Roman air of past grandeur, although there is nothing faded about the colourful trees and flowers.

Ostia Antica, All Areas
à bas prix

The ancient Roman city of Ostia was in antiquity situated at the mouth of the river Tiber, some 30 kilometres to the west of Rome. The shoreline moved seawards, due to silting, from the Middle Ages until the 19th century. Therefore Ostia is today still lying next to the Tiber, but at a distance of some three kilometers from the beach. Ostia is Latin for "mouth", the mouth of the Tiber. The river was used as harbour, but in the Imperial period two harbour basins were added to the north, near Leonardo da Vinci airport. The harbour district was called Portus, Latin for "harbour".

Ostia Antica is Rome's answer to Pompeii, and though it lacks the volcano backdrop, it is every bit as impressive. In fact, when it comes to atmosphere, ancient Rome's port, which reached its peak in the first and second centuries A.D., wins hands down.

It's an intimate, lived-in kind of place. You can wander into the neighborhood taberna (bar), where wall paintings depict some of the dishes on offer and the refrigeration system consists of huge jars sunk into the floor. There are corn mills, their grindstones still in place. Offices of shipping companies in the Forum of the Corporation have floor mosaics showing the commodities dealt in, while the public latrine must have been a great place to pick up the day's gossip.

Palazzo Altemps, Old Rome
moyenne

The Palace's present structure is a result of the gradual incorporation of various medieval buildings between the 15th and 17th centuries, and has been recently restored by the Ministero dei Beni Culturale (cultural works ministry). The museum houses works, originally from private collections, which now belong to the state.

Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, Testaccio
moyenne

The Palazzo Massimo alle Terme holds collections of Ancient Roman works of art, coins and jewellery belonging to the Museo Nazionale Romano which were previously displayed in the Museum's Terme di Diocleziano complex.

The transformation of Palazzo Massimo into a museum began in 1981, thanks to a grant made by the Italian Government for the preservation of Ancient Roman artefacts and works of art. The late 19th-century palace, built by Camillo Pistrucci for Prince Massimiliano Massimo on the site of the Renaissance Palazzo Peretti-Montalto, served previously a college run by the Jesuits.

Pantheon, Old Rome
for free

The original Pantheon was a rectangular temple built by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, son-in-law of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, as part of a district renewal plan in 27-25 BC. What tourists see as they relax in front in the Piazza della Rotonda is radically different than that original temple. Hadrian rebuilt the structure; maker's stamps in the bricks allow us to peg his restoration between 118 and 125 AD. Still, the inscription on the architrave attributes the construction to Agrippa during his third councilship. The portico in front of the Pantheon is what remains of Agrippa's original temple.
The Pantheon contains the tombs of Rafael and of several Italian Kings. Pantheon is a Greek word meaning "to honor all Gods."

Piazza di Spagna, Centro Nord
for free

The piazza di Spagna is one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. It is also one of the most visually pleasing squares. The combination of a monumental staircase - the famous Spanish Steps, an obelisk and a beautiful church draws photographers to the square.

The long, triangular square is named after the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See. In the 17th century, the area around the embassy was even considered Spanish territory.

San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, Centro
for free

This monastery was built for a community of Spanish monks. It was commissioned in 1634 and was built during 1638â€“46, except for the tall facade, which was added about 1677. Built to fit in a cramped and difficult site, the church has an unusual and somewhat irregular floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross defined by convex curves.

Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, Trastevere
moyenne

The first church on the site was built in the 3rd or 5th century, and the baptistery from this church was found during excavations, situated underneath the present Chapel of Relics. A house from the Imperial era was also found, and tradition claims that the church was built over the house in which St Cecilia lived. This house was one of the tituli, the first parish churches of Rome, known as the titulus Ceciliae. The church was rebuilt by Pope Paschal I (817-824). At that time, the martyr's remains were brought from the catacombs of St Calixtus. The present church is a result of 18th century rebuilding, performed on orders from the titular of the church, Cardinal Francesco Acquaviva. Some older elements were preserved.

Santa Maria del Popolo, Centro
for free

Santa Maria del Popolo is on the north side of the Piazza del Popolo, and is dedicated to Our Lady.

Standing inconspicuously in a corner of the vast Piazza del Popolo, this church often goes unnoticed, but the treasures inside make it a must for art lovers, as they include an entire chapel designed by Raphael and one adorned with striking Caravaggio masterpieces. Bramante enlarged the apse of the church, which had been rebuilt in the 15th century on the site of a much older place of worship. Inside, in the first chapel on the right, you'll see some frescoes by Pinturicchio from the mid-15th century; the adjacent Cybo Chapel is a 17th-century exercise in marble decoration. Raphael's famous Chigi Chapel, the second on the left, was built around 1513 and commissioned by the banker Agostino Chigi (who also had the artist decorate his home across the Tiber, th

Scalinata della Trinitá dei Monti (Spanish Steps), Piazza Navona
for free

The Scalinata di Spagna, or Spanish Steps, are located in an upmarket area of Rome, and join the Piazza di Spagna with the church of Trinita dei Monti with its twin towers that dominate the skyline. The church was built in 1502 by Louis XII, next to St. Francis di Paola's monastery. The Spanish Steps are usually very crowded during the summer months, with tourists just sitting, chatting, and taking a rest from visiting the designer shops that litter the area. It may seem like a good place to eat a picnic lunch, but the Italian authorities, in an attempt to keep the area clean, have banned visitors from eating whilst sitting on the steps. The Scalinata is the longest and widest staircase in Europe

The staircase has been constructed using 138 steps. Designed in 1723 by Francesco De Sanctis, and funded by a French diplomat Stefano Gueffierwas, the steps are a mix of curves, straight flights, vistas, and terraces. The steps have needed to be restored many times over the years, with the latest restoration being in 1995. The Spanish Steps got their name from the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See which was located in the piazza.

St. Peter's Basilica , Vatican City
for free

The tiny sovereign state of the Vatican is an essential stopover on any Roman holiday and offers enough in itself to fill days if not weeks. Consecrated in 1626, the current St. Peter's Basilica remains the symbol and heart of the Catholic church and houses Michelangelo's stirring Pietà and Bernini's spectacular tomb of Pope Alexander VII. Bernini is also responsible for the magnificent elliptical colonnade in St. Peter's Square.
If you are up for the climb (and don't suffer from vertigo), take the steps up to the top of the dome for incomparable viewsâ€”and a much welcome bar-café.

Villa Borghese , Centro Nord
for free

Villa Borghese is a large landscape garden in the naturalistic English manner in Rome, containing a number of buildings, museums and attractions. It is the second largest public park in Rome (80 hectares or 148 acres) after that of the Villa Doria Pamphili.

The gardens were developed for the Villa Borghese Pinciana ("Borghese villa on the Pincian Hill"), built by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, developing sketches by Scipione Borghese, who used it as a villa suburbana, a party villa, at the edge of Rome, and to house his art collection. The gardens as they are now were remade in the early nineteenth century.
