KINDLY NOTE: You must be respectfully dressed to enter churches in Rome: Shorts and skirts must come down to your knees and bare shoulders must be covered (even a sheer scarf will do).
Sant'Angelo Castle is a place of mystery and intrigue, and one of the coolest museums for kids in Rome. Originally built (almost 2000 years ago) as a mausoleum for the emperor Hadrian, this castle has served over the centuries as a fortress, prison, and safe-house for the Pope.
The most iconic and perhaps most fascinating monument in Rome is its two-thousand-year-old arena: the Colosseum. While we typically associate the Colosseum with gladiators and games that entertained the citizens of Ancient Rome, this double-amphitheater is another shining example of the greatness of Roman engineering. On the same plaza sits the stately Arch of Constantine, and you can see some of the ruins in the Roman Forum from here as well.
The Pantheon
is one of those monuments in Rome that will have you shaking your head
at the brilliance of Ancient Roman engineering. Even if you don't care
about how it was built, you will be impressed by the colossal pillars of
the portico and the elegant coffered dome with its immense oculus.
Today, Piazza Navona is a handsome plaza known for its three fountains (most notably The Four Rivers) and many restaurants. Its oblong shape gives you a clue to the piazza's ancient origins -- in Roman times, it was the locus of a stadium.
At the heart of Rome is Piazza Venezia, an immense traffic circle dominated by the Victor Emmanuel Monument, a gigantic complex of white marble sometimes called the "wedding cake”. During the fascist era in Italy, Mussolini's headquarters were situated here, and you can still see the balcony where he gave many of his legendary speeches.
After climbing the graceful steps of the Capitoline Hill (designed by Michelangelo)and marveling at the
symmetrical beauty of the piazza (restyled by Michelangelo), you’ll get a
beautiful panorama of the Roman Forum, featuring a close-up view of the Temple of Saturn and the Rostrum where Mark
Anthony made his impassioned speech over the body of Julius Cesar.
At
Vatican City, we'll stop briefly at St. Peter's Square, an expansive,
elliptical piazza lined by elegant colonnades. Of course, the main
attraction here is St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in
Christendom. Resting on 800 pillars and able to hold over 60,000
worshippers, the church houses a mind-boggling quantity of artworks of
every type imaginable. most notably the Pieta, Michelangelo's magnum opus sculpted in marble.
The
Theatre of Marcellus tells the viewer a peculiar tale of urban
upcycling. This classic amphitheatre from Ancient Rome, built more than
90 years before the Colosseum, was, believe it or not, transformed into a
dwelling during Renaissance times. Well, to be precise, a palazzo
was built on top of the theatre. Once a residence for the noble Orsini
family, the structure was eventually subdivided into condos that today
comprise some of the most expensive real estate in all of Rome.

One of the most recognizable fountains in the world, Trevi Fountain is one of those monuments in Rome that can't be missed. Not only is this water feature a jaw-dropping collection of Baroque sculpture, but it is also a testimony to Rome's love affair with water that has existed since ancient times. Remember to throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain to ensure your return to Rome!
