Rome, the capital of Italy is called as the Eternal City, is one of the most ancient urban center of Europe. The inhabitants from ancient Rome left behind many architectural masterpieces and is now become the center of world-class art, from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel to the baroque Trevi Fountain, and teems with restaurants, trattorie, osterie, pizzerie, enoteche, cafés, bars, and gelaterie. Rome encompasses the Catholic Church’s independent city-state, the Vatican which is home to the imposing St. Peter’s Basilica and the Pope.

Trevi Fountain
The Trevi fountain, inspired by Roman triumphal arches, is the most famous Baroque fountain in Rome and the most beautiful in the world. The central figures of the fountain are Neptune (God of the sea), flanked by two Tritons. One struggles to master a veru unruly "sea horse", and the other lead a far more docile animal. These symbolize the two contrasting moods of the sea. The Trevi Fountain that we can see now, was designed by Nicola Salvi in 1732 and competed in 1762. Trevi Fountain is situated in the Trevi square, which has only a walking distance from the Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona.

It was the most preserved and influential building of ancient Rome. The most fascinating features of the Pantheon is its architecture. The structure of the Pantheon is comprised of a series of intersecting arches.
