Itinerary
Rome is often called the “eternal city” due to its historical significance and a place of great magnificence, distinction, and vivacity. Rome is a diverse city where allusions to three conflicting times coexist -the glorious remnants of Catholicism, the glorious ruins of the Roman Empire, and the contemporary, vivacious Rome. Rome is one of the world’s most photogenic cities – not surprising when you consider what is here: the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, Sant’Angelo Castle + Ara Pacis, and many more world-famous attractions.
Sant’Angelo Castle
Castel Sant'Angelo is a historic building in Rome, next to the Tiber River. Emperor Hadrian built it in 123 AD to be a tomb for himself and his family. Over the years, Castel Sant'Angelo has served many purposes. It has been a tomb, a military fortress, a safe place for popes during emergencies, a home for royals, and a prison. The name "Castel Sant'Angelo" comes from a story from the Middle Ages. In 590 AD, people say that the archangel Michael appeared on top of the castle and announced that a plague in Rome was ending. To remember this event, there is a statue of Michael on top of the castle.
Ara Pracis
The Ara Pacis is one of the most significant monuments of Ancient Rome. It was a temple for sacrificing sacred animals, in which only priests and vestals participated. This monument is an altar located inside a closed structure made of Carrara marble. This beautifully preserved monument showcases intricate carvings that depict various Roman deities and scenes of imperial ceremonies.
Sant'Angelo Castle and the Ara Pacis are two remarkable landmarks that showcase the rich history and cultural heritage of Rome. Visiting these sites offers a glimpse into the city's imperial past and its enduring significance. Visiting them helps us appreciate Rome's rich history and beautiful art.
