It's connection with history is strong. There are so many historical sites

Rome
The Pantheon:
Built around 120 BC, it was originally dedicated to major Roman Gods by Emperor Hadrian. In the 600s, it was consecrated as a church
St. Peter's:
Over 2,000 years of Roman and Christian history are represented and found in the history of St. Peter's. It is the papal seat and the centre of the Catholic Church.
The Colosseum:
Commissioned by Emperor Vespasian in the 700s, the Colosseum was originally used as a sports complex where gladiators fought.
Piazza Navona:
Built in the 1st century BC, it sits upon the ruins of the ancient Circus Domitianus. The ancient Romans came here to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition
arena)
Trevi Fountain:
It is among the most stunning fountains in the world with beautiful Baroque architecture.
