Delve into Rome’s fascinating history by exploring iconic attractions such as the ancient Colosseum and the wonders within Vatican City. Unlike earlier amphitheaters that were constructed into hillsides for support, the Colosseum is a freestanding structure. It held as many as 50,000 spectators who came to watch mock naval battles and gladiators fight. After a 14th-century earthquake severely damaged the amphitheater, the fallen stones were used as building materials elsewhere. You will also behold the glorious Vatican Museums, the frescoes that Michelangelo painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the papal apartments known as the Raphael Rooms. And what better way to conclude your immersion into Rome than at St. Peter’s Basilica? This pilgrimage site on Vatican Hill was constructed in the early 16th century and was once the world’s largest church. It remains one of the holiness sites in Christendom. Inside, you will see the Pietà, which Michelangelo completed when he was only 24.
