Rome

A history of over two and a half thousand years, capital of one of the most powerful empires in the world, Rome(Roma in Latin), the eternal city never seizes to surprise tourists and connoisseurs of art and architecture. It is known by many other names, some of which are, the Eternal City, City of God, Urbs Sacra (the Sacred City), Caput Mundi (Capital of the world) and because it was built on them, Rome is also known as the City of the Seven Hills.Like all other civilizations of the ancient world which grew on the banks of rivers, Roman civilization too grew up around River Tiber, on which Rome is situated.

Even if you spend a week in Rome, you return with the feeling that you have missed something, maybe a fountain, a church or a museum, and most important of all you'll want to return to this city like never before.

In this blog of mine, I am going to write about some of the important places of interest, history and of religious and artistic importance. But, a complete description of Rome and all the jewels it contains is next to impossible.
