History
Many stops trace Rome’s imperial and papal history — the Colosseum and nearby Forum mark ancient civic life, while St. Peter’s and surrounding Vatican buildings reflect Renaissance and Baroque papal power.
Conservation
Rome’s heavy tourist traffic concentrates wear on historic stone and fountains; visitors are encouraged to follow marked paths, avoid touching ancient masonry, and use designated waste bins.
