This 15 stop, self-guided tour will lead you through some of Rome’s main attractions, from the Spanish Steps through Trevi Fountain to Campo de’ Fiori, with lots of sights along the way covering more than two thousand years of history. It’s best to set aside 2-3 hours for walking this route. You’ll be seeing plenty of both tourists and Romans as yo...
The Villa Medici, along with the Villa Borghese (which houses the Galleria Borghese) beyond it, stands on the site of the Gardens of Lucullus, created more than two thousand years ago, back when Romans saw gardening as a strange new hobby imported from Persia. But the house you see today is built in 1576 after the land had been a quiet vineyard for...
For many foreigners, the Spanish Steps are visual shorthand for Rome; they’re used in lots of movies and TV shows, starting with Roman Holiday back in 1953. This was a natural hillside as recently as 1723. Before the steps were built, this was the slope of the Pincio Hill, one of many hills around Rome. The 138 steps were built in the 18th century ...
The Column of the Immaculate Conception is the centerpiece of the small Piazza Mignanelli that opens from the corner of the Piazza di Spagna. The statue on top of the column is a bronze Virgin Mary. Mary, the mother of Jesus, occupies a central place in Catholic belief. And this statue of her was built in 1857 to commemorate the Pope’s recent decla...
Looking down at this spot, you can see something that an ancient Roman would have had to look up at. The aqueducts – imperial Rome’s famous system for bringing clean water into the city – relied on gravity to work. So, water was sometimes flowing over the heads of the people who were going to consume it, with roads passing under the arches you can ...
There’s likely to be a crowd around when you reach the Trevi Fountain, and even in the absence of people, the water can make it a loud spot. Find a view of the fountain from the front. The main statue in the fountain depicts the god Oceanus. Below him, you can see his retinue of tritons, men mixed with fish. The one on the right is blowing a shell ...
All that’s columned is not ancient, as evidenced by this shopping mall, opened in 1922 and built in a style of Art Nouveau that borrows from multiple phases of Rome’s historic architecture. That design continues into the inside, where you can find a stained glass ceiling above stores selling plenty of Rome’s signature high-end fashion. It’s an easy...
The Marcus Aurelius column is much thicker than many similar monuments you’ll see around the city. That’s because it’s hollow, with a spiral stairway inside that once allowed a climb to the top. The spiral is also on the outside – you can see an unbelievably detailed relief up and down the length of the column. It shows battles led by Marcus Aureli...
This obelisk is genuinely Egyptian, made in the 6thcentury BC and brought here five centuries later. Earlier we mentioned that obelisks represented the divinity of Egyptian pharaohs. The head of the Egyptian gods was Ra, the god of the sun, and this obelisk was used in Rome as part of an enormous sundial. Like the others, it fell, was buried, and t...
The name “Pantheon” is Greek, not Latin, meaning “for all the gods.” The source of the name is uncertain – most temples were dedicated just to one god, not all of them together. And there’s no record of how it was used in the 2ndcentury AD when it was finished under Emperor Hadrian. And Hadrian was rebuilding an earlier temple, and the inscription ...
