TOUR OF THE ROME - ARTISTIC TOUR IN ROME - Rome Shore Excursions

In this shore excursion, we'll take you to some of the most important artistic sites of Rome.
Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls:The "Basilica di San Paolo Fuori le Mura", known in english as the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, is one of four churches considered to be the great ancient basilica of Rome.
Castel Sant'Angelo: The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as the Castel Sant'Angelo, is a towering cylindrical building in Rome, initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family.
Villa Borghese: Villa Borghese is a large landscape garden in the naturalistic English manner, containing a number of buildings, museums and attractions. It is the second largest public park in Rome after that of Villa Doria- Pamphilj. Today the Borghese Gallery is housed in the Villa Borghese itself.
National Museum of Rome: The National Museum of Rome is a set of museums, split between various branches across the city. It was founded in 1889 and inaugurated in 1890, with the aim of collecting antiquities from between the V century BC to the III century AD. Its first collection was formed from the archaeological collections of the "Museo Kircheriano" and the numerous new discoveries in Rome during the city-planning after it became the new capital of the new Kingdome of Italy. This was initially meant to be displayed in a "Museo Tiberino" (never realised), but in 1901 the State granted the institution the Villa Ludovisi and the important national collection of ancient sculptures. Its base was established in the XVI century cloister built by Michelangelo off the Baths of Diocletian, still its main base. These buildings' adaptation to their new purpose began for the 1911 exposition and completed in the 1930s. In 1990s, in a radical transformation, the museum's collections were divided between four different sites.

ROME TOUR - PHANTHEON, CAMPIDOGLIO, COLOSSEUM, TREVI FOUNTAIN - Rome Shore Excursions

You'll visit the most famous monuments and archaelogical sites of the "urbs aeterna" (The Eternal City): Rome.
Pantheon: The Pantheon was originally built as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome. The intended degree of inclusiveness of this dedication is debated. The generic term pantheon is now applied to a monument in which illustrious dead are buried. It is the best preserved of all Roman buildings, and perhaps the best preserved building of its age in the world. It has been in continuous use throughout its history. It was built in 27 BC by Marcus Agrippa and reconstructed by Hadrian in the early II century AD. Since the VII century, the Pantheon has been used as a Christian church.
Piazza del Campidoglio:Piazza del Campidoglio was entirely designed by Michelangelo. The geometry is dynamic, marked by a trapezoidal plan (determined by the site) formed by three buildings and an oval pavement; the airy breadth of the piazza produces a relatively gentle effect of a special theatrical locus.
Colosseum: The Colosseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheatre, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81-96).
Trevi Fountain:The Trevi Fountain is the largest and most ambitious of the Baroque fountains of Rome. The fountain at the juncture of three roads ("tre vie") marks the terminal point of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revivified Acqua Virgo, one of the ancient acqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome.
