Tourist Destinations


1 The Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine
As the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, the silhouette of the Flavian Amphitheatre is to Rome. The largest structure left to us by Roman antiquity, the Colosseum still provides the model for sports arenas - present day football stadium design is clearly based on this oval Roman plan. The building was begun by Vespasian in AD 72, and after his son Titus enlarged it by adding the fourth story, it was inaugurated in the year AD 80 with a series of splendid games.

2 Vatican City
The Vatican is the smallest independent state in the world, with an area of less than half a square kilometer, most of it enclosed by the Vatican walls. Inside are the Vatican palace and gardens, St. Peter's Basilica, and St. Peter's Square, an area ruled by the Pope, supreme head of the Roman Catholic Church. This compact space offers much for tourists to see, between its museums and the great basilica itself.

3 The Pantheon
The Pantheon - the best preserved monument of Roman antiquity - is remarkably intact for its 2000 years. This is despite the fact that Pope Gregory III removed the gilded bronze roof tiles, and Pope Urban VIII ordered its bronze roof stripped and melted down to cast the canopy over the altar in St. Peter's and cannons for Castel Sant'Angelo.

4 Roman Forum
Walking through the forum, now in the middle of a throbbing modern city, is like stepping back two millennia into the heart of ancient Rome. Although what survives of this center of Roman life and government shows only a small fraction of its original splendor, the standing and fallen columns, its triumphal arches, and remains of its walls still impress, especially when you consider that for centuries, the history of the Forum was the history of the Roman Empire and of the western world.

5 Trevi Fountain
One of the city's most popular tourist attractions, this 17th-century masterpiece has been immortalized in films until it is almost a required visit. Throwing a coin (not three) into the Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) is a tradition that is supposed to assure your return to Rome. Rome's largest fountain, Fontana di Trevi is supplied by an aqueduct originally constructed by Agrippa, the great art patron of the first century BC, to bring water to his baths.

6 San Giovanni in Laterano (Basilica of St. John Lateran)
As you might expect for the episcopal church of the Pope, St. John Lateran is one of Rome's most impressive churches. After centuries of alterations, it still retains its original form from the age of Constantine, when it was built. Its façade, by contrast, is a purely baroque embellishment and a fine example of that period.

लाज़ियो क्षेत्र (क्षेत्र), और इटली देश का। रोम इटैलियन प्रायद्वीप के मध्य भाग में स्थित है, तिबरिन सागर से लगभग 15 मील (24 किमी) अंतर्देशीय टीबर नदी पर। एक बार एक प्राचीन गणतंत्र और साम्राज्य की राजधानी, जिसकी सेनाओं और राजपूतों ने प्राचीन दुनिया को प्राचीनता में परिभाषित किया और उसके बाद अमिट छाप छोड़ी, उसके बाद रोमन कैथोलिक चर्च की आध्यात्मिक और भौतिक सीट, और कलात्मक और बौद्धिक उपलब्धि के प्रमुख स्थल, रोम इटरनल सिटी है, जो आज शेष है, एक राजनीतिक राजधानी, एक धार्मिक केंद्र और अतीत की रचनात्मक कल्पना के लिए एक स्मारक।


रोम के समकालीन इतिहास में पोप की आध्यात्मिक शक्ति और इतालवी राज्य की राजधानी की राजनीतिक शक्ति के बीच लंबे समय से तनाव को दर्शाया गया है। रोम एक एकीकृत इटली का हिस्सा बनने वाला अंतिम शहर-राज्य था और 1870 में इटालियन सैनिकों के आक्रमण के बाद उसने केवल ड्यूरस के तहत ऐसा किया। पोप ने इसके बाद वेटिकन में शरण ली।

मुसोलिनी के पतन और द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के आघात के बाद से, जब शहर में जर्मनों का कब्जा था, राजनीति रोम के एजेंडे पर हावी रही है - हालांकि 1980 के दशक में, क्षेत्रीयतावाद शुरू हुआ, राजधानी से दूर कुछ राजनीतिक शक्ति को विकसित करने के लिए। आर्थिक रूप से मिलान और ट्यूरिन के पीछे, रोम ने इतालवी और यूरोपीय अर्थव्यवस्थाओं के भीतर एक परिधीय स्थान बनाए रखा है। यह बारहमासी आवास की कमी और यातायात की भीड़ से भी ग्रस्त है। हालांकि, 20 वीं और 21 वीं सदी की शुरुआत में रोम की ढांचागत समस्याओं को हल करने और रोमन सांस्कृतिक पुनरुत्थान को बढ़ावा देने के प्रयासों में वृद्धि हुई।
