Pyramid of Cestius and the Porta San Paolo

Highlight • Historical Site

Piramide di Cao Cestio is a Roman pyramid in Rome, Italy, near the Porta San Paolo and the Protestant Cemetery. It was built as a tomb for Gaius Cestius, a member of the Epulones religious corporation. It stands at a junction between two ancient roads, the Via Ostiensis and another road that ran west to the Tiber along the approximate line of the modern Via Marmorata. Due to its incorporation into the city walls, it is today one of the best preserved ancient buildings in Rome.

Milvian Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Ponte Milvio (or Ponte Molle or Ponte Mollo) is a bridge that connects Piazzale Cardinal Consalvi to Piazzale di Ponte Milvio, in Rome, in the Flaminio, Parioli, Della Vittoria and Tor di Quinto districts.
It was built where the river entered the ancient city of Rome from the north: today the urbanized territory extends for many kilometers beyond. It was built along the route of the Via Flaminia and Cassia, as an obligatory passage to head north, and the Via Clodia and Veientana also converged there. The Romans popularly call it the Mollo bridge due to its peculiarity: when the Tiber is in flood it is the first bridge to be submerged.
The first mention of the bridge dates back to 207 BC, in relation to the return from the Battle of Metauro during the Second Punic War. The bridge must have still been made of wood at this time and its construction must be attributed to a Molvius (belonging to the Molvia gens, attested by sources).

Piazza della Repubblica, Rome

Highlight • Historical Site

Piazza della Repubblica, Rome
The Piazza della Repubblica, also called Piazza Esedra, retains the semicircular shape of the exedra of the Diocletian Baths. It was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, when Rome became the capital of a unified Italy. The Via Nazionale begins from the piazza and is one of the city's main streets.
The square has a rich history dating back to ancient times. Originally, it was the site of a large thermal complex built by the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 3rd century AD. Later, during the Renaissance, the square was transformed into a large public square with fountains, statues, and impressive architecture. Even today, the Piazza della Repubblica remains a popular destination for tourists and locals, offering a glimpse into the city's fascinating past.
The Piazza della Repubblica in Rome is a lively square in the heart of the city. With the stunning Fountain of the Naiads and the grand Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e Martiri, it's no wonder this square is a must-see for every traveler. Whether you're interested in history and architecture or simply want to soak up Rome's vibrant atmosphere, Piazza della Repubblica is definitely worth a visit.
