Free Tour: History & Architecture of Imperial & Renaissance Rome
Overview of the tour in Rome
The tour will begin in the Colosseum area, where we will try to understand the importance of this place within the Roman civilization. We will understand the importance of this place and its transcendence in the history of architecture worldwide. We will try to deepen in why we owe so many things to the Romans and what are the main advances that they will contribute to the history of architecture.
We will continue touring the Roman forums along the Via dei Fori Imperiali. Observing left and right and understanding the layout of this street, what we have under our feet and its significance until today. Making the way that the emperors did to reach the Capitol.
Finally, we will pass through the Piazza del Campidoglio and drop into the center of Rome, where we will understand the beginning of the Baroque in the city and how it begins its second great period of splendor: the Rome of the Popes.
During this tour you will understand why Rome is the city it is today and how, through a series of changes and modifications throughout history, it has become what is for many the most beautiful city in the world.
