🇮🇹Rome
Rome, a city that spans over two millennia, is home to over 900 churches, including St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest Catholic church in the world. The Colosseum, one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering, once hosted gladiatorial combat. The city is a living museum, where ancient ruins stand alongside Renaissance art and baroque churches. With its cobblestone streets, piazzas, and fountains, Rome offers a glimpse into the heart of Western civilization.
