Campo De' Fiori

Campo de' Fiori, which literally "field of flowers", name dates to the Middle Ages when the area was a meadow, is one of the few squares in Rome without a church, it has always been dedicated to commerce and trade, still nowadays the square host a daily fresh market.

Roman Ghetto

• Visiting the Jewish Ghetto in Rome is a must, it is the oldest Jewish settlement in all of Europe (dating back to the 2nd century B.C.), home a striking synagogue, host kosher bakeries and Jewish-Roman trattorias.
• The Jewish Ghetto is one of the loveliest, most atmospheric areas of Rome. Compact and very pedestrian-friendly, it’s one of my favorite places for a stroll.

Area Sacra di Largo Argentina

• The Theater of Pompey, which was built between 61 and 55 BC by Pompey the Great, was located in this area, it was here that Julius Caesar was killed at the foot of Pompey's statue.
• Now, archaeologists have unearthed a concrete structure nearly 10 feet wide and 6.5 feet tall (3 meters by 2 meters) that may have been erected by Caesar's successor to condemn the assassination.

Pantheon

• The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church, in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). It was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD.
• The building is cylindrical with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest un-reinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43 metres (142 ft).
• It is one of the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings, in large part because it has been in continuous use throughout its history

Basilica di Sant'Eustachio

Our tour will end in this quite little square famous for the basilica of Sant'Eustachio, the basilica of Saint Eustace, who is revered as a Christian martyr and soldier Saint. A legend places him in the 2nd century AD; according to this legend, prior to his conversion to Christianity, Eustace was a Roman general who served the emperor Trajan. While hunting a stag in Tivoli, he had a vision of a crucifix lodged between a stag’s antlers; after this vision he was converted and had himself and his family baptized. Today the basilica built in this square is dedicated to him and the stag is still the symbol both of Saint Eustace than of the square itself.
