The Italian capital is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Its history spans more than 2,500 years. Rome is home to an important historical and architectural heritage. Monuments such as the Colosseum, Trajan’s Market, the Pantheon, the Arch of Titus, the Roman lighthouses and the catacombs, which are located on the outskirts of the city, stand out. Of course, in this capital you will find plenty of museums and art galleries.
Called La Urbe, Caput Mundi and Eternal City, Rome developed from the union of small communities of shepherds living on the Palatine Hill, the main of Rome’s seven hills, as evidenced by evidence of dwellings dating from 1100 and 1000 BC (square Rome).
During its three millennia of history, Rome has influenced the thinking of the Western world as the capital of the Roman Empire. Its artistic and monumental legacy has given it the honor of being one of the most beautiful and visited cities not only in Europe, but also in the world.

With so many ancient monuments to see in Rome, you’ll need a break from architecture and step into a typical, lively place. Welcome to Trastevere, the coolest neighborhood in Rome. In imperial times it was a patrician area, where the great mansions of the nobles dominated the city. In the medieval years, however, it became a slum. The coat of arms of Trastevere is a lion’s head, symbol of majesty and power, on a red background. They say that here they kept a lion in a cage until he killed a child who approached the cage, and he was put to death.
Today, Trastevere maintains its medieval air, with its narrow cobblestone streets and old houses, but it has become a meeting point for young people, filling up with trendy bars and restaurants.
