Monumental Squares & Fountains of Rome

Join professional Rome tourist guide, Stuart Harvey, for a virtual stroll through the heart of Rome to discover some of the most iconic monuments of the Eternal City. 28 centuries of history can be divided into three periods - Rome of the Ancient Romans, Rome under the rule of the Popes, and Rome as the capital of a united Italy, and in an area less than a square mile we can admire monuments from all three periods. Ancient Roman temples and other archaeological remains rub shoulders with baroque churches. Splendid fountains adorn magnificent piazzas, and the 20th century monumentalism of united Italy adds a modern touch to this beautiful city. Highlights of this lecture include in-depth looks at the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps and piazza Navona, with much more to see along the way.
