Main monuments Lorsque l'on visite Rome pour la première fois, comment peut-on éviter le Colisée ou la Place et la Basilique Saint-Pierre ? Ces deux lieux valent vraiment le voyage. Mais après, on dénombre tellement de sites et de monuments hors normes, que tout classement ou sélection devient rapidement assez subjectif. Voici donc une liste à prendre plutôt comme suggestion et à agrémenter de votre propre sauce  Here is a short list that highlights the emblematic places of Rome and considered as unmissable, from the Colosseum to Saint Peter’s Square  The base of Castel Sant'Angelo is an ancient building, the Mausoleum of Hadrian, built for the emperor’s family between 117 and 138 AD.
At the top of the mausoleum stood a statue of the emperor, personified in the sun god, with a bronze chariot. It is the best preserved ancient monument of the city, a temple dedicated to the gods of pagan Rome, rebuilt around 125 by the emperor Hadrian with the elevation of a coffered dome pierced by an oculus, 43 meters high. Originally named Flavian amphitheatre, the Colosseum of Rome was built from the year 72 AD by the will of the emperor Vespasian. It was completed in the year 80 by his son, Titus, and later by Domitian. With its vast baroque staircases, the Spanish Steps or Piazza di Spagna is a unique achievement of harmony and aesthetics. Its large steps, flowered in spring, lead to the terrace with the obelisk and the church of the Trinità dei Monti to the two symmetrical bell towers. The Piazza Navona is one of the most lively squares in Rome, with painters and artists, restaurants, cafes and ice cream parlours. is above all emblematic of the Baroque period, with its three fountains, including the masterpiece of the Bernini in the center: the Fountain of the four rivers. The majestic colonnade of Bernini with its four rows embraces the visitor here to accompany him to the largest basilica in the Christian world: the St. Peter’s basilica and the heart of the Vatican City. At the top of the Capitol hill, which was the spiritual heart of ancient Rome, the square was redesigned by Michelangelo in the 16th century, creating a harmonious space where the palaces house the city hall and the Capitol Museums. The Trevi Fountain is the most scenic fountain in Rome, present in the collective imagination with the film of La Dolce Vita by Fellini. Its history intertwines with that of the city of Rome, it is located at the terminus of the ancient aqueduct of the Acqua Vergine. The Roman Forum was the centre of ancient Rome, a place for trade, business, religion, politics and justice. It was constantly crowded with lawyers, priests, litigators and merchants. From the rostrum, politicians addressed the people. |  | |||||
