Pantheon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Built more than 1800 years ago, the splendid Pantheon still stands as an aide memorie of the grand Roman Empire. The name Pantheon refers to the building\u2019s original purpose as a sanctuary for all the pagan gods.<\/strong>Today, the building is still standing at a standstill despite the lapse of time. Instead of rectangular, as one is accustomed to most temples, the Pantheon has a round shape.\u00a0Archaeological excavations in the late 20th century have determined that the Pantheon built by Agrippa was completely destroyed in the huge fire of 80 AD.<\/p>\n

Fontana di Trevi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rome has many fountains scattered throughout the city, but really, they are not as impressive as this one. The statues are so detailed that it feels like they will move at any moment.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t mind walking, the best way to see Rome\u2019s sights is mainly on foot. Sights are concentrated in certain areas, so you can spend one day in Ancient Rome, one day in the Vatican, and so on.<\/strong><\/p>\n
