Rome isn’t just a city, it’s an open-air museum, home to many of the icons of the ancient world, including the Colosseum, once able to seat 50,000 people; the Pantheon, the most complete ancient structure in the city; and the ruined Roman Forum, the centre of political and commercial life in the days of the Republic. More modern attractions – in Roman terms at least – include the Trevi Fountain, completed in 1762; the Borghese Gallery, one of the greatest repositories of art in the city; and the sweeping Spanish Steps, the top of which provide stunning sunset views over Rome’s seven hills.
