A curated journey through the experience
St. Peter's Square
St. Peter’s Square that hides mysterious and alchemical symbols.
15 minutesPiazza Navona
You’ll stroll through the bustling Piazza Navona, named the most beautiful square in Italy, which houses three magnificent fountains including the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) by Bernini. Piazza Navona is also one of the liveliest squares of Rome with several quaint outdoor restaurants and cafes.
15 minutesPiazza del Popolo
The piazza lies inside the northern gate in the Aurelian Walls, once the Porta Flaminia of ancient Rome, and now called the Porta del Popolo. This was the starting point of the Via Flaminia, the road to Ariminum (modern-day Rimini) and the most important route to the north. At the same time, before the age of railroads, it was the traveller's first view of Rome upon arrival. For centuries, the Piazza del Popolo was a place for public executions, the last of which took place in 1826.
15 minutesChiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo
Santa Maria del Popolo, in Piazza del Popolo, was one of the first Renaissance churches in Rome. In the Chigi Chapel, created by Raphael, are ceiling mosaics and pyramid-like tombs as well as statues by Bernini. The Chigi Chapel represents Earth on the Path of Illumination in the movie and book.
15 minutesFontana dei Quattro Fiumi
In the fountain there are four different figures of gods, each representing different rivers from different continents.
10 minutesPantheon
Rome's Pantheon, the ancient temple of all the gods, was built between AD 118-125 by Emperor Hadrian. Its dome was the largest dome ever until Brunelleschi's dome at the Florence Cathedral was built in 1420-36. In the 7th century, it was made into a church by early Christians but it's still the best-preserved building of ancient Rome.
15 minutesMuseo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo
With the addition of the Mura Aureliane (Aurelian wall) in 271 A.D., which fortified its strategic southern flank, the structure was converted from mausoleum to military fortress.
