Things to Know

Rome is often called the “Eternal City” because of its continuous influence on Western civilization for more than two millennia. The city contains an entire independent country within its boundaries—Vatican City, the smallest state in the world. 

Many of Rome’s famous fountains, including the Trevi Fountain, were designed during the Baroque period to celebrate the engineering achievements of ancient Roman aqueducts. The Colosseum remains one of the largest amphitheaters ever built in the ancient world.
