Delve into Rome’s fascinating history by exploring iconic attractions such as the ancient Colosseum and the wonders within Vatican City. Unlike earlier amphitheaters that were constructed into hillsides for support, the Colosseum is a freestanding structure. It held as many as 50,000 spectators who came to watch mock naval battles and gladiators fight. After a 14th-century earthquake severely damaged the amphitheater, the fallen stones were used as building materials elsewhere. You will also behold the glorious Vatican Museums, the frescoes that Michelangelo painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the papal apartments known as the Raphael Rooms. And what better way to conclude your immersion into Rome than at St. Peter’s Basilica? This pilgrimage site on Vatican Hill was constructed in the early 16th century and was once the world’s largest church. It remains one of the holiness sites in Christendom. Inside, you will see the Pietà, which Michelangelo completed when he was only 24.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Experience the Colosseum up close for a greater understanding of its construction and use.
• Behold Vatican highlights that include its museums, Sistine Chapel and Raphael Rooms.
• View St. Peter’s Basilica, a pilgrimage site that was once the largest church in the world.
It is Level One
For Florence, the introductory information is the same and then:
Explore the most emblematic and recognizable attractions in Florence, beginning with the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s exquisite white marble statue of David. You might also see Florentine Gothic paintings, a viola made by Antonio Stradivari and centuries-old religious artwork, all of which the guide will describe as well as the times in which they were created. Continuing on, you will visit the Piazza della Signoria, the political heart of Florence since in the Middle Ages. The Palazzo Vecchio town hall overlooks the square and its iconic tower has become the symbol of Florence. Ponte Vecchio bridge is equally well known, as it has been spanning the Arno River since medieval times. Shops have lined both sides of the bridge since the 13th century. Following lunch on your own in the Piazza della Repubblica, you will pause at the hillside Piazzle Michelangelo for one last look at the city.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Behold Michelangelo’s statue of David and other masterpieces at the Accademia Gallery.
• Meander about the Piazza della Signoria, a main square that the iconic town hall dominates.
• See the famed shop-lined Ponte Vecchio bridge that spans the Arno River.
• Gaze out over Florence from atop the elevated vantage point Piazzle Michelangelo.
Also Level One
