Rome
Rome is the capital of Italy and one of the world's most beautiful ancient cities. Its history spans more than two and a half thousand years, since its legendary founding in 753 BC. Rome is one of the oldest continuously occupied cities in Europe and is referred to as "The Eternal City".
In the ancient world it was successively the capital city of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and is regarded as one of the birthplaces of Western civilization. Since the 1st century AD, Rome has been considered the seat of the Papacy and in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. In 1871 Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and in 1946 that of the Italian Republic.
Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Monuments and museums such as the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum are among the world's most visited tourist destinations receiving millions of tourists a year.
Famous artists and architects, such as - to name just a few - Bramante, Michelangelo, Raffaello and Bernini, made of the city the center of their activity, creating masterpieces like St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, Raphael Rooms and St. Peter's Square.
