Rome wasn’t built in a day and you’ll certainly need more than a day to see what this beautiful Historical city has to offer. From the one of a kind architecture of the Colosseum to the small family run Italian restaurants, you’ll truly fall in love with this great city. The Magnificent architecture of the city shows just how beautiful Rome must have been in the days of the Roman empire.

The oldest of all these building is the colosseum, according to a staff member for history.com ‘In A.D. 80, Vespasian’s son Titus opened the Colosseum–officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater–with 100 days of games’(History.com).

Each of these plazas have a statue or a fountain center piece, which are then surrounded by restaurants and coffee shops. One Restaurant which is highly recommended by many tourists for being such a cheap and cheerful place is the ‘Pane e Salame’. It is located next to the Trevi Fountain and is ranked number two for restaurants in the city on Trip Advisor. My sister Lauren recently travelled to Rome and went to this restaurant and said, “The food was amazing and so cheap, there was a bit of a line but it was well worth the wait.” She also said “the atmosphere in the restaurant was great, it wasn’t too loud and all the staff were so lovely.” Rome really is a city where you can just walk around the streets and take in the beautiful sights and have a fantastic

Ancient Rome’s art consisted of many buildings with concrete-domed roofs. Roman pride and moralism are interestingly combined in their approach toward architecture. For instance, historians emphasize the size and grandeur of Rome's architecture and describe it as conquering the globe.5 This shows how impressive the architecture of Rome was.

So you 're just wandering through the twisty mediaeval streets of the centro storico (historical center), and as if the cobblestones and ivy weren 't enough, you turn the corner, and out of nowhere is this massive temple. That 's Rome for you. The best preserved ancient structure in the city, the Pantheon as you see it now was built under Hadrian between AD 120-128 circa, although the pediment above the portico is actually 100 years older and signed by Agrippa (which did in fact confuse archaeologists and historians for years).

This is why these Roman structures still exist today and why Rome was the most advanced civilization of its time. The Romans also built the world’s first roads which were used for pedestrian traffic, and army vehicles. The Romans had to design and cleverly construct their long lasting roads which branched out from their large empire.

Like the famous phrase says all roads lead to Rome, well at that time, all roads really did lead to Rome, they were the only civilization to have roads!(Not including the Silk Road which had more of a temporary dirt road than a stone road.)

The bath houses used arches, domes and vaults to make them both aesthetically beautiful and to work as functional spaces. The Romans also made spectacular private homes for those who could afford them, and designed and built innovative apartment type buildings for those who couldn’t afford a private residence. As with the Greeks, the Temples of Rome were a great architectural achievement.
