Largo di Torre Argentina
With so many ancient monuments found throughout the city, it can be easy to miss the Largo di Torre Argentina. This square contains the ruins of four Roman temples and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. The square is also home to a colony of friendly feral cats!
Pyramid of Cestius
The pyramids of ancient Egypt aren't just a modern tourist attraction, the ancient Romans enjoyed visiting them too. So much so, that the city was once home to dozens of pyramid shaped monuments. Now, only one remains, the Pyramid of Cestius, outside the Porta San Paolo.
Roseto di Roma Capitale
The Rome Rose Garden - occupying the Aventine Hill, opposite the ancient Circus Maximus - is a pleasant place to spend an afternoon. Over 1000 varieties of rose are grown here, showcasing the various floral possibilities for any budding gardeners.
Palazzo Bonaparte
This corner house on the Piazza Venezia was once the home of Maria Letizia Ramolino, mother of none other than the French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte. Until her death in 1836, Ramolino would sit on the balcony and watch the carriages passing into the square.
National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art
When you're done with the Roman ruins, why not take a look inside The National Gallery of Modern & Contemporary Art. Here, you can see some of the eye-popping abstract art that was produced in Italy's post-war boom years.
Museo Carlo Bilotti
The Museo Carlo Bilotti is like a gem - small, but stunning. This museum, built in an 18th-century orangery in the grounds of the VIlla Borghese, has a permanent collection of just 23 works, including many by Giorgio de Chirico, donated to the city by collector Carlo Bilotti.
Via Condotti
There's all sorts of art and artefacts to be seen, but if Italy is known for anything, it's known for its fashion. The Via Condotti is an ancient street that once led to the Baths of Agrippa. Today it's best known for its luxury outlets and exquisite cafés. Un caffè, per favore!
