Founded more than 2700 years ago, the city of Rome reigned as the Caput Mundi, or Capital of the World. Monumental buildings like the Pantheon and the Colosseum are reminiscent of the era when emperors like Nero, Trajan and Hadrian ruled the Roman empire. But todays Rome owes much of its attractiveness to the Renaissance period when new squares like the Campidoglio were developed and new buildings were constructed. The most famous of these buildings is the largest church in the world, the Saint Peter's Basilica (see my Vatican City pages). |
