This huge monument of white marble in the center of Rome, in Piazza Venezia, is impossible not to notice: the Italian National Monument Vittoriano, which has been given slightly ironic names like "wedding cake" or "typewriter" - a monument erected in honor of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of united Italy.

The name of the square comes from the famous Palazzo Venezia, of which the Church of San Marco is a part. The palace was built for Cardinal Pietro Barbo of Venice (Pope Paul II). During World War II, Palazzo Venezia was the residence of Mussolini. Today, the palace houses a museum of decorative arts with works from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. There is also an exhibition of wax figures - Museo Chere.

Trajan's Forum is a beautiful monument of monumental architecture created by the architect Apollodorus of Damascus, who was in the service of the emperor himself. The construction of the forum began in the year 1006 and lasted almost seven years.

Julius Caesar's forum was built by order of the legendary emperor to expand the old forum of the Republican period, which no longer met the needs of the capital of a growing empire that stretched from Spain to Asia Minor and numbered nearly a million inhabitants (first century A.D.). Julius Caesar's forum was already inaugurated in 46 B.C., but its construction was fully completed only during the reign of Emperor Augustus. During the summer, there are performances and night sightseeing at the Forum. The cost of a ticket is 6.50 euros.

In form, the Nerva Forum was a long and narrow gallery. At the forum Nerva was a temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva, which in 1606 by order of Pope Paul V was destroyed and the building material was taken for the construction of the fountain of the Water of Paul on Janikul Hill. Archaeological excavations revealed that only two huge white marble columns, a fragment of the wall, a relief depicting Minerva, and a branch of the effluent structure, the Cloaca Maxima, remained of the forum.

The Roman Forum was once the central marketplace and now the square occupying the center of the ancient part of the city. It was the center of social and political life of Roman citizens. The entrance ticket costs 12 euros.

Constantine's Arch of Triumph in Rome is one of the most famous ancient Roman structures, a striking example of ancient architecture and a symbol of the decline of the great Roman empire. Unlike other triumphal arches, the Arch of Constantine symbolizes not victory over an external enemy, but triumph in a civil war. In October 312, Constantine decisively defeated the army of Marcus Maxentius at the Mulvius Bridge, showing himself to be an excellent strategist. There is a tradition that before this crucial battle Constantine had a sign: in a dream he saw the sign of the cross. He took the Christian symbol with him into battle and was victorious with it. Constantine, who was later named Great, declared Christianity to be the only religion of the empire and transferred the capital to Constantinople.

The Colosseum in Rome is the most magnificent arena ever created by man. The Colosseum is also the largest amphitheater of the ancient period, and its construction dates back to 72 AD. The Colosseum is an elipse, in the middle of which is the arena itself. Around the arena are rings of spectators' tribunes. The seats in the Colosseum were distributed according to the social status of the spectators. The lower tiers were for the higher classes of society - state officials, priests and vestal virgins. The upper tiers were for commoners.

The Doria Pamphili Palace is a palace of 1,000 rooms, a fifteenth-century structure. The palace was given to Andrea Doria in the seventeenth century as a dowry for his wife Anna Pamphili. Doria is a famous family of Genoese princes, its representatives were condottieri, Doges and admirals. But most of all, the Doria family became scandalously famous for their refusal to finance Columbus's expedition. Palazzo Doria Pamphili is one of Rome's most notable palaces, still owned by descendants of the Pamphili family. Part of the Palazzo Doria Pamphili is occupied by an art collection recognized, along with the collections of the Vatican Museums and the Borghese Gallery, as one of the best in Rome.

The aqueduct was completed by 1587 and provided the quarters adjacent to the Quirinal Hill with clean and fresh water. In honor of the Pope, the fountain, like the aqueduct, was named Felice, but a little later it would take on another name, the Fountain of Moses. Now no one can say for sure who the author of the sculpture of the Old Testament prophet is.
