Ancient truly means ancient here in this city where ruins dating back thousands of years are found, anything ‘only’ hundreds of years old is considered ‘modern’. Known as the Eternal City by ancient Romans who believed their mighty empire would always endure, Rome is one big delight of magnificent churches and basilicas, huge monuments and mausoleums, opulent palaces, grand villas and buzzing public squares filled with fountains and sculptures crafted by famous names.
