Piazza del Campidoglio
Designed by the renowned Renaissance artist and architect Michelangelo in the 16th century, this square is a testament to his genius and his contribution to urban planning. At the center of the Piazza del Campidoglio stands a bronze equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a striking symbol of ancient Rome. Surrounding the square are three elegant buildings: Palazzo Senatorio, the city hall; Palazzo dei Conservatori, a museum; and Palazzo Nuovo, another museum. These structures house an extensive collection of Roman art and historical artifacts. The geometric patterned pavement, known as the "cordonata," leads visitors up to the square, providing a dramatic approach to the Campidoglio. From this elevated position, the square offers breathtaking panoramic views of Rome, including the Roman Forum.

Isola Tiberina
The island has a rich and ancient history, dating back to Roman times when it was associated with healing temples and hospitals. One of its notable landmarks is the Basilica of Saint Bartholomew on the Island, which houses a vast collection of religious relics and artwork. Tiber Island is connected to the mainland by two bridges, creating a sense of isolation and tranquility amidst the bustling city. Its charming cobblestone streets, lined with cafes and shops, offer a serene escape for both locals and tourists. Today, Tiber Island remains a symbol of healing and well-being, with a modern hospital, Fatebenefratelli Hospital, located on one side of the island. The island's unique history and atmosphere make it a captivating destination for those seeking a blend of historical intrigue and serene relaxation in the heart of Rome.

Teatro di Marcello
Commissioned by Julius Caesar and later completed by Emperor Augustus, Teatro Marcello was one of the largest theaters in ancient Rome.
