The ruins of ancient Rome's public bathhouse, dating back to the 3rd century.
Reviewed By Kufra - Rome, Italy
The Roman thermal bathhouses were the forerunners of the modern fitness and aquatic centres, just as are many practices in ancient Rome. This expansive ruin commissioned by Caesar Caracalla is no exception and is in fact an excellent example. Situated on the route one would take when walking from the Circus Maximus, the ancient Roman racetrack ruins, to the Porta Sebastiano, the southern gate of Rome's surrounding ancient walls leading to the Via Appia Antica, the ancient Roman highway to Brindisi, this imposing structure is surrounded by a green, parklike area, and includes the ruins of its olympic sized swimming pool, steam rooms, hottub, cold and tepid baths, and the structures where its exercise and weight rooms, running track, food court, music room, pleasure gardens, reading room, hair dresser's salon, and other related centres of its complex were located. It is an amazing glimpse into life in ancient Rome, centre to a superpower.

What a wonderful place to visit. Few tourists visiting Rome reach one of the most interesting and suggestive places, which is the non-Catholic cemetery near the Pyramid of Cestius.Tourists from around the world are looking for the grave of John Keats, who died in Rome at the age of 26 in 1821. His name is not on the tombstone; only the words 'young English poet' appear. An epitaph was also engraved: "Here lies the one whose name is written on the water." There is also often visited by the Romans and tourists the tomb of the second poet of English Romantic Percy Bysshe Shelley. You can also see the tombstone of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's son, August. The stone has the inscription: "Goethe filius". A very special cemetery in the heart of Rome.

Very historical church on the Aventino Hill. It is located in a quiet area, far away from the City Centre. That allows you to concentrate and stay calm far away from tourists. Check on the characteristic signage on the marble floor. Very old and original representing the Dominicans and its church.

This Baroque masterpiece created by the best of Italian architects and sculptures is so close to the Ponte Sant’Angelo and yet missed by many. You will never find crowds inside and amazing Baroque masterpieces will be all yours to enjoy. The facade created by Giacomo della Porta is a shining example of Baroque elegance. The spacious nave with white columns on both sides lead you to stunning altar designed by Pietro da Cortona. The chapels are gorgeous as well, especially the Falconieri Chapel with the tomb of Cardinal Falconieri designed by Francesco Borromini and completed by Pietro da Cortona. Francesco Borromini’s is buried under the dome.

The Museum is situated inside the S. Sebastiano Gate of the Aurelian Walls and offers visitors an educational visit which was created in 1990, although the monument has been used in a more or less similar way since much earlier.

This is the "new" market at Testaccio, and it has a little bit of everything. Pasta, Pizza and roasted meats along with wine & cheese to enjoy onsite, all from fantastic stands run by passionate owners. Side by side with fresh produce including meats, seafood, fruits, vegetable & flowers. There will be something for everyone. And being Rome, there is, of course, an archaeological dig underway right in the middle of the market. This is great as there is an open section of the market to see what is going on. Easy walk from Piramide Metro station.
