City Info
| Lazio - Roma City Info |
|
Rome, the "Eternal City", is the capital of Italy and of the Lazio (Latium) region: it is the famed city of the Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita, the Vatican City and Three Coins in the Fountain.
City Areas:
Aventino: Aventine Hill contains the Circus Maximus and the Baths of Caracalla
Campo de' Fiori
Colosseo: the heart of ancient Rome, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Forum of Augustus, the Forum and Markets of Trajan, the Capitoline and its museums
Esquilino: South of Termini, with an indoor market and Piazza Vittorio Emanuele.
San Giovanni: At the center of this area south of Esquilino is the Cathedral of Rome Saint John in Lateran.
Navona
Pantheon
Quirinale
Repubblica: also known as Esedra.
San Lorenzo
Spagna: the Spanish Steps, the Mausoleum of Augustus, Ara Pacis
Testaccio
Trastevere
Trevi: the Trevi Fountain
Via Veneto: The Via Veneto is famous for the Dolce Vita, the magnificent Piazza Barberini is also in this area.
Villa Borghese
Vaticano: the area around Vatican City
Vatican City: the independent Papal State within the city of Rome, location of St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Castel Sant'Angelo
Roman Empire structures:
The Colosseum - The Pantheon - Roman Forum - Palatine Hill - Fori Imperiali
Museums:
The Capitoline Museums: Also contain a good collection of classical art, as well as ancient sculpture. The Capitoline piazza, between the two museum buildings - designed by Michelangelo, is beautiful. Explore these museums, then head out the back of the square to the Forum, where you'll find the remains of the Temple of the Vestal Virgins, among many other buildings on the way to the Colosseum.
Galleria Borghese: A small museum that concentrates on the quality rather than the size of its collection. There are some very notable works by Antonio Canova and Gian Lorenzo Bernini here.
Churches:
St. Pietro: where the Pope resides.
San Carlo alla Quattro Fontane: a very small and beautiful church, the first design commission of Francesco Borromini.
Sant' Ivo della Sapienza: a small church shaped like the Star of David, with an amazing star-shaped dome and whimsical steeple.
Santa Maria del Popolo: with a couple of paintings by Caravaggio.
San Luigi dei Francesi: This church is roughly halfway between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. It is most notable for a side chapel which contains three Caravaggio paintings, including "The Calling of St. Matthew."
San Giovanni in Laterano: this is the cathedral church of Rome and first of the major basilicas. It's also the Pope's Church. Be sure to check out the fourth century baptistry (still in use) and the medieval cloister.
Santa Maria Maggiore: This ancient basilica crowns the top of the Esquiline Hill. Tons of gold decorate the interior.
San Paolo fuori le Mura: also known as St Paul's Outside the Walls. This is on the outskirts of Rome in an otherwise drab modern neighborhood. The church is a faithful reconstruction of the ancient basilica which burned down in the early 1800s. Don't miss the medieval cloister, which survived the fire.
San Clemente: a great little cathedral to visit, with an excavated older church below and a pagan temple below that. The only place in Rome to hear the underground river that flows beneath the city. Very close to the Colosseum.
Santa Maria in Trastevere: one of the oldest churches in the city. The nave is lined with a mismatched collection of columns taken from ancient Roman buildings. The apse is covered in gold mosaics from the 13th century, arguably the finest mosaics in the city.
Santa Maria degli Angeli: this church was built inside the former baths of Diocletian. Very light and airy inside. Note the unusual art on the outside doors.
San Pietro in Vincoli: The chains that held St. Peter are displayed in a case before the altar. Also contains a statue of Moses created by Michelangelo. It's close to the Colosseum, but a little hard to find
Santissima Trinità dei Monti: up above the Spanish Steps
Santa Maria alla Minerva: This church is literally right behind the Pantheon. It is Rome's only gothic church, and well worth seeing, although it's plain square facade makes it look inconspicuous.
Public squares:
Piazza di Trevi: where you can find the famous Fontana di Trevi. It's not a very big piazza and gets very crowded very quickly.
Piazza di Spagna: under the "Spanish Steps"
Piazza Navona: Used to be an ancient stadium built by the emperor Domitian and still retains the shape. The fountains are by Bernini and are very notable
Campo de' Fiori: not far from Piazza Navona. Used as a marketplace
Piazza del Popolo: with the twin churches
Piazza della Minerva: a small piazza just behind the Pantheon. The centerpiece is a statue of an elephant by Bernini with an ancient obelisk on its back
Piazza di Sant'Ignazio: small and attractive piazza tucked away in a neighborhood near Pantheon
Piazza Montecitorio: where you can find the building of the House or Representatives
Piazza Colonna: where there is the building of the Italian Government, Palazzo Chigi. Also there is a marvelous carved column (hence the name) dating back to Imperial Rome
Piazza Barberini: with the famous fountain. Via Veneto starts here too.
Piazza della Rotonda: where you can see the Pantheon
Piazza Venezia: more of an enormous traffic circle than a piazza, but a good central location. The centerpiece is the enormous Vittorio Emmanuale Monument (aka the Wedding Cake) with the Capitoline hill next door. Piazza Venezia is also very close to the Forum
Piazza del Campidoglio: On top of the Capitol hill. It was designed by Michelangelo. The Capitoline Museum is housed in the palaces flanking the piazza. You can walk behind the palaces and to a wonderful viewpoint which overlooks the entire Forum
Historical Buildings:
Palazzo Venezia: In the very heart of the city center, the building was for centuries ago the seat of the Venice embassy. Today it houses a museum and galleries art.
Palazzo della Cancelleria
Palazzo Farnese
Palazzo Altemps
Palazzo Spada
Palazzo Barberini
Castel Sant'Angelo
