Itinerary
1
Pantheon
We begin beneath the dome of the Pantheon, where imperial ambition met mathematical genius. Here, you’ll uncover why this former pagan temple survived while so much of ancient Rome fell into ruin.
2
Piazza Navona
In Piazza Navona, built atop an ancient stadium, discover how entertainment shifted from chariot races to Baroque drama. Learn how rival artists turned fountains into political statements and façades into propaganda.
3
Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo
Crossing the Tiber near Castel Sant’Angelo — once Emperor Hadrian’s tomb and later a papal fortress — we follow the path popes once used to flee invading armies.
4
St. Peter's Square
Finally, the city opens dramatically into St. Peter’s Square, where Baroque architecture was designed not just to impress, but to embrace the world.
