St Peters – the biggest church in the World. Also not to be missed is the Sistine Chapel,
whose ceiling is home to Michelangelo’s mural masterpiece.
Colosseum - Known to the Ancient Romans as the “Flavian Amphitheatre” this symbol of
the Roman Empire was host to 450 years of gladiators, lion feedings and “games”. It is a
truly impressive sight.
Trevi Fountain - A beautiful rococo design, the Trevi Fountain is the place to stir

extraordinary dome is the largest masonry vault ever built.
Spanish Steps – Nicknamed Rome’s living room, the Spanish Steps are the perfect place

steps that overlook the piazza
