Roma

Roma, the Eternal City! No one can visit Rome and not be touched by it's timeless beauty. The Eternal City reflects the grandeur of Ancient Rome and the majesty of Christian Rome. After visiting such sites as the Catacombs, Vatican City, the four major Basilicas of the Catholic Church and the Colisseum, you have much, much more to discover.
"All roads lead to Rome" The origin of the expression lays in the Romans' well-deserved reputation for their construction skills. Their network of roads, all of which headed towards the capital city, meant that they literally did all lead to Rome. The expression has come to have the connotation that no matter which way you chose to go, the outcome of something would be the same, with no one option being better than another.
So now that you are here, visit the local markets where you will find the finest local foods and a vast array of flowers. Romans love flowers! Fountains are another spectacular "treasure" of Rome. From the majestic Bernini sculptures in Piazza Navona to the small secluded ones you find in the little side alleys, you will find them a refreshing stop as you pause and listen to the sound of the water.
