The Only Surviving Pyramid in Rome

The Pyramid of Caius Cestius is one of Rome's most unusual and mysterious landmarks. This 2,000-year-old pyramid is a testament to the fascination the Romans had with ancient Egyptian culture. Built as a tomb for a wealthy Roman magistrate, the pyramid is an intriguing blend of Roman and Egyptian architecture. It stands in the peaceful Protestant Cemetery, surrounded by trees and ivy-covered walls. Discover the secrets of Rome's only pyramid and experience a unique side of Roman history. Guided tours are only available on the 2nd & 4th Saturday & Sunday of the month. Add this #beautifuldestination to your #travelbucketlist 🌎
