1. Colosseum

Originally completed eighty years after the birth of Christ, the Colosseum was the largest of the amphitheatres constructed by the Roman Empire, at one time regularly hosting 50,000 spectators for the sort of brutal entertainment that was depicted in the film “Gladiator”.

This is the largest Baroque period fountain in the whole of Rome and a timeless masterpiece that was designed by Nicola Salvi and Giuseppe Pannini.

3. Piazza Navona

The Piazza Navona is generally considered to be one of the best examples of Baroque architecture even within the treasure trove of architectural greatness that is Rome. The exquisite square gained its façades in the mid-17th century as commissioned by Pope Innocent X, with the Pope choosing renowned artists such as Bernini, Borromini and Rainaldi to turn this piazza into yet another Roman example of great artistry. Rainaldi is also known for having built the Palazzo Pamphilj, which faces the Piazza Navona, another spectacular building which has housed the Brazilian Embassy in Rome since 1920.

5. Spanish Steps

Probably the most famous staircase in the world, Rome’s Spanish Steps have a romance all of their own. The Spanish Steps are relatively young compared to other ancient attractions in Rome, but they still have an interesting history. Built in 1717, and designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi, this staircase of 138 steps was intended to offer better access to the Trinita dei Monti church. The design of this classic monument incorporates curves, straight lines, vistas and terraces into a design that is generally considered to blend seamlessly and elegantly into the surrounding architecture of the piazza.
