The unique oval shape of the Colosseum, the largest Roman amphitheater ever constructed, stands out near the center-right of the image, on the east side of the river and nearby to the ruins of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.
Below that is the lengthened overview of the Circus Maximus, which was the biggest chariot racetrack in ancient Rome. To the left on a bend in the river, is the boat-shaped Tiber Island, the only island in the urban part of the river.
Rome, the capital city of Italy, is an ancient metropolis steeped in rich history and overflowing with cultural treasures. Established in 753 BC, it is typically referred to as the “Eternal City” and played a critical role as the center of the Roman Empire. Romes historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasting numerous architectural marvels, consisting of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon. As the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, it is also home to the Vatican City, an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, where St. Peters Basilica and the Vatican Museums attract millions of visitors each year. Today, Rome perfectly mixes its ancient roots with the contemporary world, making it a dynamic, cosmopolitan destination that captivates travelers with its long-lasting beauty and charming food.
Following the Tiber northwards, we find, to the east of the elliptical shape of Piazza Navona, the white open-topped dome of the Pantheon, which is 142 feet (43 meters) in diameter.
A little more north on the other side of the river, we can see the sovereign state of Vatican City, with St. Peters Basilica and its popular square. The star-shaped Castel St. Angelo is also visible close by. It was the burial place of Emperor Hadrian, but later on acted as a fortress.
As evident in the image, Rome has lots of green spaces: parks, historic rental properties, and public gardens, together covering about 4000 hectares.
