Visit Rome -
a Historical City
by: David Chandler
Do you bear a passion for history? Are you
interested in ancient architecture and temples? Do age-long
and legendary activities beckon you? If so, then you must
definitely explore the ancient lands of Rome, at least once
in your lifetime.
With an area of about 150 square
kilometers, and a population of 3.8 million, Rome still
stands tall in the vast field of world history. Whenever we
come across Rome, Etruscan tombs, Republican meeting rooms,
Imperial temples, ancient Christian churches, medieval bell
towers, Renaissance palaces, and Baroque basilicas strike
the core of our mind and we enter the superficial world of
history and architecture. Rome takes us through the pages of
history.
Rome is situated halfway down Italy's
western coast, about 20 kilometers inland. Rome is a large
city, though the historical area is quite small. A majority
of the Rome historical sights are restricted within a
reasonable distance of the central railway station, Stazione
Termini. All the main Rome monuments are situated west of
the train station in Rome. However, it is always advisable
to use the map of Rome, once you arrive in Rome.
Attractions
The central attractions of Rome are the
Palatine Hill and the Forum. Via Del Corso is located north
from the Forum to Piazza Del Popolo, accompanied by Spanish
steps and the Trevi Fountain on the east. The Vatican in
Rome is situated northwest of the Forum, across the River
Tiber in Rome.
Rome offers a great deal of pleasure with
the likes of the arrogance of the Vatican, the immemorial
haunting memories of the Coliseum or the sheer thrill of
going back to centuries ago of timeless history.
Rome offers you a wide range of
excitement, adventure, and enjoyment. The thrill and sheer
experience of Rome is very distinctive and unique. Rome
gives you the liberty to thrive on wine, architecture,
history, and sunshine.
