Most Beautiful buildings in Rome
2
  • Rome is best known for its gorgeous ancient
    ruins, which are seamlessly incorporated into the
    day-to-day life of the bustling Italian capital.
    Given the Ancient Romans knack for ingenious
    engineering, it is little wonder that their
    designs have endured and been reinterpreted in so
    many forms. With so many architectural marvels to
    take in while youre in the Eternal City, its
    hard to know where to begin. Roman architecture
    and engineering are among the most lauded in the
    world and have had a major impact on art,
    building practices and urban planning across the
    centuries. Here is the list of some famous and
    beautiful Buildings in Rome.

List of most beautiful buildings in Rome
  • Vittoriano
  • The Altar to the Fatherland was built in homage
    to Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of a
    unified Italy. The royal connection gives the
    commanding white building its more common
    nickname Il Vittoriano. The unmissable monument
    is just up the street from the Colosseum and
    Forum but proved quite controversial when it was
    first erected on the side of the Capitoline
    Hill.

  • Colosseum
  • It is the largest amphitheater ever built and was
    modeled after the ancient Teatro Marcello. The
    Colosseum held around 65,000 spectators and was
    used for gladiator contests, public spectacles
    such as re-enactments of famous battles,
    theatrical productions, animal hunts, and
    executions.

  •  Pantheon
  • The original temple was built by Marcus Agrippa
    in 27 BC, but the current structure was created
    by Emperor Hadrian in 120 AD. The temple was
    dedicated to the gods the name refers to all
    gods and engineered with a round hole at the top
    of the roof to function as an open door to the
    deities. The Pantheons distinctive domed roof is
    visible from afar when standing at Romes best
    vantage points, but nothing compares to actually
    stepping inside the striking ancient building.
