The Catacombs of St. Callixtus, located on the Appian Way, are one of the largest and most significant burial sites in Rome, known for their extensive network of tunnels and chambers. Dating back to the 2nd century, they served as a Christian burial site and are notable for housing the graves of several early popes, including St. Cecilia, and numerous martyrs. Visitors can explore the intricately carved burial niches, frescoes, and the crypts that reflect the early Christian community's beliefs and practices. PLEASE NOTE: We might visit other catacombs in case last-minute closures appear.

Circus Maximus, the grand chariot racing stadium of ancient Rome, was an architectural marvel measuring 600 meters in length and capable of hosting up to 150,000 spectators. Its origins date back to the 6th century BC, with numerous emperors later enhancing its structure following various destructions from fires and other events. Today, while much of the original stadium has vanished, visitors can still see the outlined shape of the field, complemented by some remnants of its storied past, serving as a testament to its historical significance in Roman entertainment and culture.

The picturesque Piazza della Bocca della Verità is renowned for its iconic "Bocca della Verità," a striking manhole cover resembling a mask, located in the portico of the nearby Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. This fascinating relic is steeped in legend, with a traditional belief that anyone who placed their hand inside and lied would suffer a severed hand as punishment. The square is not only a popular tourist destination for its intriguing folklore but also offers a charming atmosphere, surrounded by historical architecture and inviting spaces for visitors to explore.

The Temple of Hercules, a notable remnant of ancient Rome, is distinguished as the only surviving sacred structure crafted from Greek marble, highlighting its unique architectural significance. This temple stands as a testament to the influence of Greek design on Roman religious architecture and showcases the reverence the Romans had for Greek deities. Its enduring presence offers valuable insight into the cultural exchange between the two civilizations and the artistic ambitions of ancient Roman society.

Teatro di Marcello, located in the historic Jewish Ghetto Area of Rome, is often referred to as the "Jewish Colosseum" due to its architectural similarities to the iconic Colosseum. This ancient theater, commissioned by Julius Caesar and completed by Augustus, is a significant example of Roman engineering and design, showcasing impressive arched entrances and a semi-circular structure that once hosted various performances. Its juxtaposition with the neighboring Jewish Ghetto adds layers of historical and cultural context, making it a fascinating site that reflects both Roman heritage and the rich history of the Jewish community in Italy.

The square located on top of Capitol Hill, known as the Capitoline Hill or Piazza del Campidoglio, was historically significant in antiquity as a major site of worship dedicated to the Roman gods, particularly to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. This area served as the religious and political heart of ancient Rome, featuring grand temples and a vibrant civic life. Today, it retains its historical importance, as the square showcases stunning Renaissance architecture designed by Michelangelo, along with prominent museums and governmental buildings, offering a glimpse into the city's illustrious past.

Piazza Navona, defined during the fifteenth century and embodying the grandeur of Baroque architecture, is one of Rome's most charming and vibrant squares. Originally built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian, the square features stunning fountains, including the iconic Fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini, and is flanked by beautiful churches and lively cafés. Its lively atmosphere, with street performers and market stalls, attracts both locals and tourists, making it a central hub of social and cultural life in the city.

The Pantheon in Rome is indeed one of the best-preserved ancient Roman buildings, retaining its architectural integrity through the centuries. Originally built as a temple to the Roman gods around 27 BC and later rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, the Pantheon is renowned for its massive domed roof and stunning oculus, symbolizing the connection between the divine and the earthly. Its continuous use as a church since the 7th century has contributed to its remarkable preservation, allowing visitors today to marvel at its grandeur and historical significance.
