The Piazza del Popolo, or People's Square as the Italians call it, is a spacious square with two Baroque churches on either side of it and three large Roman streets that were important thoroughfares in the Middle Ages radiating out from here. The center of the square is decorated by a 24-meter stele, brought over from Egypt - it is believed that it is 3.5 thousand years old. At the foot of the stele are fountains - sculptures in the shape of lions, and on the edges of the square are two more large fountains - the Fountain of the Goddess of Rome and Neptune.

The chronicle of the most important events in Rome is preserved by the forum, built by order of Emperor Trajan at the turn of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Although only ruins remain of the forum today, from the remaining fragments we can imagine that Trajan's forum used to be a square surrounded by two libraries, a marketplace and an imperial temple. In order to consolidate his popularity the emperor sought to build the largest forum, and he succeeded in full: 220-meter square was decorated with numerous statues, colonnade and crowned with a high marble column, in which later was buried the emperor.

As early as the 2nd century A.D., this castle was built as a tomb for rulers and imperial families. Many monarchs were buried here and under the emperor Aurelian the mausoleum was walled to protect it from barbarian attacks. The name the castle acquired in the 6th century, when after the plague plague someone saw the image of an angel on the roof of the castle, and with this sign the terrible epidemic was ended. So, originally planned as a tomb, the castle throughout its history has played the role of a fortress, a papal residence, a warehouse and even a prison. Today there is a museum within its walls.

This was once the center of important social events, and the ancient Romans knew where to go in Rome to keep up with all the latest news in the city and country. Here laws were made, verdicts were passed, consuls were appointed, and the latest news was announced. Commercial squares joined administrative buildings and temples, new constructions and monuments were erected, and all this continued until, after the fall of the Roman Empire, the forum was devastated by the barbarians. Only fragments of the forum's structures have survived, and its territory is included in the protected archaeological zone.

The massive architectural complex, which has been under construction for 40 years, is dedicated to King Victor Emmanuel II, the first king who was able to unite Italy into a single state. The complex is crowned by a bronze sculpture of the king on horseback, behind which is built a building with a colonnade. Above the columns is an architrave with 16 statues symbolizing all the regions of Italy. Inside the palace itself there are several museums and galleries with temporary exhibitions. In front of the palace there is even a guard of honor and the eternal flame burns.

Moving on to a detailed study of the Vatican's treasures, we should start with the already mentioned St. Peter's Cathedral, in front of which there is a wide square surrounded by the famous colonnade. Impressive size of the area - 340x240 meters, and if you look at the area from above, its shape follows the shape of a key. Baroque sculptor Lorenzo Bernini worked on this creation. St. Peter's Cathedral is not only the spiritual center of Catholicism, but also a real treasury of art, because the painting of the cathedral was done by famous masters of painting, such as Bernini, Michelangelo, Bramante, Raphael.

In the heart of Rome is the world's smallest state, the Vatican City, the center of Catholicism and the seat of the Pope. The mini-country has only about 800 citizens, most of whom are employees of the Catholic Church. Nowhere in Rome is there such an abundance of important cultural and historical treasures as here. The most impressive attraction is St. Peter's Basilica, which is the most common place to start a tour of the Vatican. It is difficult to describe all the beauty and grandeur of this grandiose structure, everything is worth seeing with your own eyes. Gardens, library, papal palace and other great sights of Rome await the guests of the Vatican.

Another symbol of ancient Roman architecture, appearing at the time of the greatest flowering of the arts. The "Temple of All the Gods", built in the early decades of our era, was originally a place of worship of pagan gods, and in the 7th century it was consecrated as a Christian temple. Outwardly the pantheon is a gigantic rotunda covered with a hemispheric dome 45 meters in diameter. The entire height of the structure is 42 meters, and at the very top of the dome is a through hole 9 meters wide, called "Eye of the Pantheon. This building is particularly impressive when you get inside it - you can feel the grandeur of the structure and the elegance of its interior at the same time.

This majestic symbol of ancient Rome has become one of the main attractions not only in the city, but also in the world. Millions of tourists from all over the world flock here every year. This monumental structure, which, by the way, was erected in the early years of our era, for 5 centuries witnessed famous and often bloody events. Fierce gladiatorial fights, brutal executions, torture of slaves, exhibitions of exotic animals and other impressive shows were held here. The ancient stones of the great arena still preserve the spirit of the strong emotions that were experienced by both the speakers and spectators of the annual Games.
