It is a central meeting point for people to gather and connect. On one side of this splendid square stands the Altare della Patria, a place of great importance where Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier rests. This monument is a vital part of the tribute to Vittorio Emanuele II, who was the first King of Italy. If you look afar, you may catch a glimpse of the Roman Forum, an ancient site that was once bustling with activity and life. Look at the amazing Colosseum, standing tall with all its grandeur. It represents Rome itself and gives us a glimpse into the incredible history of the Roman Empire, which lasted for almost two thousand years. Don't forget about the magnificent Circus Maximus, an old arena where thrilling chariot races entertained and captivated audiences. In the past, it was a beloved center for entertainment. Moreover, it is imperative that we prioritize a visit to the enchanting Piazza Campo de Fiori, where we can relish a delectable meal at a genuine Roman restaurant. We must not forget to appreciate the extraordinary Vatican Museums, nestled comfortably within the confines of Vatican City. These museums showcase a vast collection of artistic treasures meticulously collected by popes throughout the ages. From awe-inspiring sculptures from ancient Rome to captivating masterpieces from the Renaissance era, this undeniably stands as one of the most significant cultural landmarks around the world. With the All-Inclusive Option, you'll receive fast-track tickets for both the Colosseum and Vatican Museums. Inside these revered walls, you'll find a remarkable collection of around 70,000 pieces of art, with a current exhibition featuring 20,000 of them. One particularly noteworthy attraction is the Sistine Chapel, which pays tribute to Pope Sixtus IV and serves as the meeting place for the papal conclave, where important decisions about selecting a new pope are made. The Sistine Chapel is widely known for its frescoes decorating the walls, especially the magnificent masterpiece that embellishes the ceiling of the chapel and Michelangelo's iconic artwork known as The Last Judgment. St. Peter's Basilica, an outstanding representation of Renaissance architecture, is truly an extraordinary edifice. This exceptional structure, designed by accomplished architects Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, not only holds the honor of being the biggest church in existence but also serves as a remarkable testament to the unparalleled brilliance and ingenuity of the Renaissance era.
