A tour of Rome's ancient monuments

Rome is a dream destination for history enthusiasts. Step into the Colosseum and feel the intense atmosphere of gladiatorial battles from two thousand years ago. The ruins of the Roman Forum tell the story of the empire's glory and decline. St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City amazes visitors with its blend of religion and art, and Michelangelo's fresco "The Last Judgment" leaves one breathless. Strolling along the cobblestone streets while savoring Italian gelato, the fusion of ancient and modern Rome gives me a profound sense of the weight of time.
