Description of Guided Tour - Rome Shore Excursion: Civitavecchia Port-of-Call
- Founded in the mid 8th century BC as a small village of huts, Rome soon grew as a city and spread over the famous seven hills. By the end of the 1st century AD, in the heyday of the Roman Empire, it was a metropolis of 1.5 million people. Today, monumental ruins and imposing buildings remain to reveal not only the glorious past of the "Eternal City", but also its political, religious, and social organization.
- Providing the perfect introduction to the city, this tour will start from the Capitoline Hill, where the genius of Michelangelo has left its indelible mark in the form of the magnificent complex known as Piazza Campidoglio. From the Capitoline terrace, a breathtaking view of the ruins of the Roman Forum will encompass the once-magnificent epicenter of the ancient city.
- At Piazza Venezia, the impressive Victor Emanuel Monument commemorates the unification of Italy in 1870 and continuing along Via dei Fori Imperiali - laid out during the Fascist Period and lined with the ruins of the Imperial Fora – one can’t help but notice the Colosseum looming in the distance.
- The lively Spanish Steps are a must-see as is the charming Piazza Navona, with its Baroque treasures. As the best preserved and most astonishing ancient Roman building in the world, the Pantheon is one of the highlights of the tour. Concluding at the cascades of the Trevi Fountain, be sure to toss in a coin to insure your return to Rome!
