The city comprises of sites that have glamour and serenity especially if you love adventures. Rome attractions will actually ensure that you are occupied during your trip. This city has been in existence for over two millenniums ago and therefore there are plenty of sites to explore in your trip.

You can begin your trip by visiting an ancient fountain that is sixty five feet deep and eighty five feet high. This fountain is the biggest in the city and attracts thousands of tourists every year. It resembles a triumphant arch and its design has been altered several times. Most tourists visit this site to throw coins. In this site, you are required to toss a coin when facing backwards. The structure is iconic and has been filmed in several commercial movies.

Another amazing structure found within the city is a building constructed to act as a stadium for roman emperors when they were watching gladiator battles. This structure is similar to an amphitheatre. Residents suggest that the building was actually constructed on top of a man made lake. They also suggest that it acted as a stadium for sports to symbolize prestige and wealth.

A beautiful monument was constructed to honor the first person who became a roman king. Its construction is different from other monuments since it was built less than a century ago. A special white marble was used to construct the monument. A museum comprising of ancient roman history is found at the base of this building. Tourists can access the roof through a panoramic elevator.

Another magnificent structure you will come across is the ancient church that is believed to be a burial ground of a respected saint. The church was constructed several millenniums ago and is normally visited by spiritual people. Its interior segment consists of fine statues, mosaic art, arcs and tabernacles.

A huge pyramid lies within the city and was rendered as one of the respected fortifications. This pyramid was majorly built to divide two distinct roads. For this reason, the public were restricted from accessing it. Renovation projects are being undertaken on the pyramid to enhance its appearance. Tourists can visit this pyramid only twice every month.

Another appealing structure is a castle constructed decades ago that was also regarded as the tallest building in the city during its construction. This castle is cylindrical in shape and appears grander when compared to other buildings surrounding it. The structure acted as a mausoleum for an emperor, a prison and a fortress in different time frames. The castle is prominent because of its illustrious history and is exciting to visit during the sunset.

Other than ancient buildings, the food cooked in most restaurants around the city is another major tourist attraction. There are pizzerias and wineries across the town that serves diverse roman drinks and meals. The clubbing, music, dance troupes and exhibitions are other exciting reasons to visit this magnificent city.
