Attractions

The Pantheon

The Pantheon is historic even by Roman standards. It dates back to 125 AD and was built with a hole in the top called the Oculus. The building material used is concrete, which after being used in Roman times, fell out of favour and was rarely found until it was redeveloped in the mid 1770s.

Try to catch a choir performing in the Pantheon - the acoustics are outstanding.

Castel Saint' Angelo

Not far from St Peters zip along the along the Corso Vittorio Emmanuelle in your Rome car hire, crossing the Tiber river into the Vatican area. Originally built as a Mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian, the Castel Sait' Angelo is connected by a covered fortified corridor to the Vatican and served as a refuge for Popes in times of trouble.

The Four Basilicas

As Rome has 28 cardinals they take turns to give mass once a week in one of the basilicas, and these four basilicas today constitute the major churches of Rome. The must-see list is St Peter's, St Paul's Outside the Walls, Santa Maria Maggiore, and San Giovanni.
