Things to do in Rome

Below are some sites near the Conference Centre which delegates may be interested in visiting:

Piazza Navona

With its fountains, palaces, obelisk, and Saint Agnes Church, the magnificence of Piazza Navona embraces those who arrive from all little streets and alleyways that surround it, offering a sight of one of the most "surprising effects" typical of Baroque architecture.

Pantheon

One of the most extraordinary monuments from ancient Rome, constructed over 2000 years ago, the Pantheon is an unique place of beauty. The increasing admiration of the temple throughout the centuries was so great that Michelangelo decided to design the cupola of Saint Peter's smaller than that of the Pantheon, in order to keep the Pantheon the first exceptional monument in Rome. 

Fontana di Trevi

The most admired fountain in Rome is the grandiose eighteenth century Fountain of Trevi set in its little piazza, made unforgettable by Anita Ekberg in Fellini's film "La dolce vita". It is said that whoever throws a coin in the fountain is sure to return to Rome.

Piazza di Spagna

The renowned and impressive travertine flight of Steps of Trinità dei Monti (The Spanish Steps) are the reason for the great popularity of the Piazza di Spagna. But there are many more things to be admired in this diversified piazza where precious monuments and well-known boutiques are also found.
