Rome
Three thousand years of history
Rome, the city on the seven hills, can look back at over 2,700 years of history. Capital of the largest empire of antiquity, capital of the Christian world - and today capital of Italy. Center of the Western world in its times of prosperity, the city received mighty works of architecture, temples, theaters, forums, victory arches and boulevards under the reign of its emperors.
Artists and architects flocked to to work for the Popes and their families, notably in the Renaissance and Baroque periods when some magnificent architectural works were created.
Evidence of this prestigious history in antiquity and the Renaissance can be found on every street corner in Rome.
A visit to the eternal city is never disappointing.
Think of the old Chinese proverb: Better to have seen it once, than to have heard of it a hundred times...
