With a capacity of approximately 50.000 spectators it was the largest amphitheatre of antiquity. The Pantheon Originally built as a temple to the seven deities of the seven planets, the Pantheon became a Christian church in the 7 th century AD. It is one of the best preserved ancient monuments in Rome. The Roman Forum was the central area for commerce, administration, justice, cult and socializing around which ancient Rome developed. It comprises the remains of numerous temples, basilicas and arches. The Sistine Chapel The rectangular chapel designed by Baccio Pontelli and built in the late 1400s is most famous for Michelangelo’s frescoes.

The tiny sovereign state headed by the Pope boasts some of the world’s most important architectural feats, including St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. St. Peter’s Basilica Built on top of the burial site of St. Peter the apostle, it is considered one of the holiest sites in Christianity. Its 5.7 acres of floor space provide enough room for more than 60,000 people. The cathedral’s inside is decorated with innumerable masterpieces, such as Michelangelo’s Pietà.
