Course
Rome is the capital city of Italy and the country’s largest
and most populated municipality with almost three million
residents. It is located in the central-western part of the
Italian peninsula, on the River Tiber.
Rome is a world in itself. Ancient in its origins, the ‘Eternal
City’ bears traces of many of the great epochs of European
history, with a multitude of monuments and ruins still
reflecting the glory and splendour of ages past.
The historic centre has been listed by UNESCO as a World
Heritage Site and the Vatican Museums and Colosseum
are among the world’s most visited tourist destinations.
Equally attractive are the many churches, squares and
fountains.
Two airports, good rail links, a radial network of roads, and
a metro system make modern Rome a bustling metropolis
which even today has a global influence in politics,
economy, culture, religion and media.
