2Rome, Italy
The capital city of Rome in Italy makes almost any travel expert’s list of top ancient cities. After all, “all roads lead to Rome”, right? It was reportedly founded in 753 BC by the twins known as Remus and Romulus.
Rome blends the very best of the old — the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, and the Colosseum — with the new — the Fendi-sponsored Caravaggio Research Institute. Ah, but there’s more! Foodies praise the delicacies available at the Gelateria del Teatro, which serves up fresh lemon gelato made with the fruit from the famous Amalfi Coast. Other highlights here include the Scuderie del Quirinale, Villa Madama, Villa Farnesina, the Church of Sant’Agostino, and the big commemorative Raphael exhibition.

Thanks for reading my stuff!

Hi!
