This magical city is the political and historical capital
of the Italian Republic, the spiritual centre of the
great Roman Empire and the location of the Vatican City
State – the nucleus of the Roman Catholic Church.
This spellbinding city is known throughout the world
for its riches in history, its stunning architecture
from every period since its foundation in the 8th century
BC and its magical, irrepressible atmosphere.
By throwing three coins in the nearby Trevi Fountain,
legend has it, you guarantee that one day you’ll
return to what they call the ‘Eternal City’.
Few people come away from Rome not mesmerised by its
glittering marble facades, its ancient buildings and
the unmistakeable aroma of the spring air. Whether you’re
gazing across Circus Maximus at the dome of St Peter’s
in the distance or watching the world go by from a café
bar on Via Veneto, you’ll become entranced by
the addictive atmosphere that made this special place
the location of choice for the ancients who founded
the city.
Immersed in a unique marriage of mythology and fact,
history and legend, the city of Rome was born when the
Roman God Mars saved his outcast human children Romulus
and Remus from drowning in the River Tiber by delivering
them to a female wolf on the banks. Suckled by the wolf
and then raised by shepherds, the brothers would later
fight over the foundation of the great city that would
become the ruling centre of the greatest empire the
world has ever seen. Since we call the place ‘Rome’
and not ‘Reme’, you can guess who won the
fight!
Others would have you believe the city was born out
of trade on the river between merchants and the shepherding
communities of the surrounding hills, but we prefer
the traditional version! |
