	Colosseum and Palatine Museum The Colosseum is probably the most famous monument in the world: this elliptical colossal construction, with a height of 48mt, has impressed and fascinated men of all Ages. It was begun under Vespasian, as a symbol of the grandeur of the Roman Empire, and inaugurated by the Emperor Titus in the year 80 AD.
	Capitoline Museums CAPITOLINE MUSEUMS - PALAZZO SENATORIO, PALAZZO NUOVO AND PALAZZO DEI CONSERVATORI The Palazzo Senatorio was built in the 12th Century on the remains of the ancient Tabularium. In 1299 an open loggia was added overlooking the piazza, further walled one century later in order to strengthen the palace, turned into a fortress with the addition of towers by Pope Boniface IX; more corner towers were later added by Popes Martin V and Nicholas V. Michelangelo designed a monumental staircase, in addition to dividing up the façade with giant pilaster strips, large windows and tympanums and a crowning balustrade featuring statues. Girolamo della Porta and Martino Longhi the Elder completed the work with some alterations to the original plan. The Palazzo Nuovo was built in the 17th Century, with a slanting orientation that imitates Palazzo dei Conservatori, influenced by a pre-existing retaining wall, in the center of which there was a fountain with a statue known as "Marforio", later moved to the courtyard of the Capitoline Museum. The Palazzo dei Conservatori, seat of elected magistrates that administrated the city, dates back to the middle of the 15th Century. It originally featured a portico on the ground floor and Guelf-cross windows on the first floor, in addition to a row of small windows on the mezzanine floor. Michelangelo redesigned the facade, adding big Corinthian pilaster strips on high pedestals, flanked by pillars in the portico on the ground floor. The building was crowned with a balustrade and statues.
	Domus Aurea - Nero's House Most of the ruins of the Domus Aurea form a nucleus of almost 150 rooms, articulated arounf the octagonal room, the key room of the complex, of almost 400 meters. Mainly constructed in bricks, most of the rooms are covered by vaults from 10 to 11 meters high.
	Roman Forum The Roman Forum is located in a valley that is between the Palatine Hill and the Capitoline Hill. It originally was a marsh, but the Romans drained the area and turned it into a center of political and social activity. The Forum was the marketplace of Rome and also the business district and civic center. It was expanded to include temples, a senate house and law courts.
	Vatican Museums The largest, richest, most compelling and perhaps most exhausting museum complex in the world. Much booty from the city's history has ended up here, from both classical and later times, and many of the Renaissance's finest artists were in the employ of the pope.
	Roman Castles Leaving Rome, drive by the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla and onto the Ancient Appian Way by the Chapel of "Domine Quo Vadis". This tour takes us along the 'Road of the Lakes' through one of the hilly areas of volcanic origin that characterize the outskirts of Rome; the Colli Albani with its many growing villages. Castelgandolfo on the shores of a vulcanic lake, where the Pope has his summer residence, Rocca di Papa and Grottaferrata, known for their culture sights and gastronomic delicacies which include the traditional "porchetta".Towards the northerly part of the Colli Albani, we reach Frascati popular with visitors both for its beauty and considerable wine production. Here we stop for a taste of local wine and to absorb the flavour of village life. Return to the vicnity of your Hotel.
