Anybody who walks the streets of Rome
or any other city in Italy
cannot fail to be stunned or overwhelmed by its spectacular architecture. In
reality, countless individuals have declared that Rome is the most attractive city in the world
- a declaration that is very hard to refuse.
The Coliseum, for instance, is actually one of the most
extraordinary structures in the entire country. As the biggest amphitheater
ever made by the Romans, the Coliseum hosted several gladiatorial combats and
was initially capable of seating more than 50,000 spectators. Currently,
tourists can go back into the past and stroll within its walls as audience did in
80AD.
Another masterpiece of architecture to be explored in the
city is the spectacular Piazza del Campidoglio that was designed by
Michelangelo Buonarroti. It is a good example of the structural design that signifies
Rome's dominance as a world hub of the Renaissance. Though, there are other
extravagant squares to and visit on city breaks in Italy
which include Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Venezia.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Trevi Fountain - an amazing structural
masterpiece - is a fantastic example of decorative art, as is the Palazzo
Madama that now houses the Italian Senate. This impressive style is also there
in the Piazza di Spagna that holds the impressive Barcaccia Fountain and the amazing
Spanish Steps - made popular in the Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck film, Roman
Holiday.
Rome is also a home to several neoclassic-style structures;
the most prominent one is the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II that represents
650,000 Italians who actually fell in disagreement during World War I. Another
magnificent architectural showpiece is The Pantheon. The name is taken from the
Greek phrase denoting 'Temple of all the Gods' and was initially made as a
sanctuary to the 7 gods in the state of ancient Rome. So Rome can be a good
place to visit while on city breaks in
Italy.
