The Eternal City, Rome, has had an eventful history filled with battles, conquests, intrigues, and mysteries.
This tour begins with a visit to Castel Sant’Angelo, which you will only see from the outside. This was a notorious prison known for housing nobles, artists, and common thugs alike.
From here, walk along Via del Governo Vecchio to Piazza Pasquino. Your guide will point out the statue of an ancient Greek hero—or what remains of him—a bust and a “swollen” face. At Piazza Navona, you’ll learn about the restless souls that linger around the Pantheon, which was once a pagan temple before being converted into a Catholic church.
When we arrive at Piazza della Minerva, we will see Bernini’s “Minerva’s Little Elephant” and Largo di Torre Argentina, where Julius Caesar was assassinated. Piazza Mattei is named after Giacomo Mattei’s Palace.
