Apartment Rentals near the Vatican and Rome

August 15, 2007 By: admin Category: Italy No Comments →

For Catholics a trip to the Vatican is like a pilgrimage with religious necessity such as arranging for Masses for family members living and deceased. While The Vatican is in Rome, it is not a part of Rome as many would have you believe. Developed in strong Roman Catholic traditions, it is important to note that the Vatican is opposed not just to same-sex marriages but to equality for homosexuals generally. The Vatican is housed in a beautiful white stone building and the inside is even more incredible. The Vatican is small as states go, however it is still doing all it can for reducing pollution and helping the environment. Visiting the Vatican is usually part of a trip designed to experience Italy, where you can find accommodation in Apartment Rentals near Vatican.

Rome – The Colosseum

April 20, 2007 By: admin Category: Italy No Comments →

Il Colosseo as the Romans refer to it began life as the Flavian Amphitheater, an enormous elliptical stadium capable of seating 50,000 spectators within its six acre domain.

During the 1st century AD, and for hundreds of years thereafter, the Colosseum was host to grisly spectacles of human-human and human-animal combat. Slight evidence of those activities remains among the ruins, chiefly the underground vaults and tunnels that served as storage and entrances for the combatants.

Rome – St. Peter’s Basilica

April 13, 2007 By: admin Category: Italy No Comments →

Formally known by the name Basilica di San Pietro, St. Peter’s Basilica is one of Rome’s foremost tourist attractions. This one site alone has enough to see to occupy an entire day or more. St. Peter’s is among the most well-known and frequently visited buildings inside Vatican City.

Though legend has it that the site was the burial place of Saint Peter, there’s slim evidence for the belief. Rather, it is sited on what was likely the 1st century Circus of Nero.

Rome is an outdoor city. Though, of course, there are many churches, museums, restaurants, theaters and other indoor attractions, the city shines best when seen from one its piazzas.

The word means public square. But unlike some other internationally renowned cities, the piazzas of Rome are truly gathering places for people who love the beauty of outdoor art in all its forms.
