Here are some major Rome highlights or attractions that you can explore on a shore excursion from Civitavecchia Port:
1. Colosseum:
The
Colosseum is known as the largest and most famous amphitheater in the
Roman world. It is believed that the construction of the Colosseum was
started by Emperor Vespasian (of the Flavian dynasty in 72 AD) and was
finished by his son Titus in 80 AD. Today the Colosseum is a major
tourist attraction in Rome that attracts thousands of tourists from all
around the world.
2. St. Peter Basilica:
The
St. Peter Basilica is the center of the Catholic world and a major
tourist attraction in Rome. The Basilica of St. Peter is a huge church
that has an interior height of 120m. This attraction stands on the
traditional site where Peter (the apostle who is considered the first
Pope) was crucified and buried. Many famous artists have worked on the
complex and its surroundings, like Bernini, designed the great St.
Peter’s Square while Michelangelo designed the dome. This is a must-see
attraction in Rome, Italy while on a cruise excursion.
3. Pantheon:
The
Pantheon is one of the best preserved Roman buildings that was built in
126 AD as a temple for all the Roman Gods. Later the temple served as a
Roman Catholic Church since the 7th century. This attraction
consists of a large circular portico and three ranks of huge Corinthian
columns. You will be surprised to know that the Pantheon’s dome is
still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.
4. Trevi Fountain:
Designed
by Nicola Salvi, the Trevi Fountain was completed in 1762, which is
today known as the world famous Baroque fountain that features a
mythological sculptural composition of Neptune, god of the sea (flanked
by two Tritons). Do you remember Fellini’s film Dolce Vita starring
Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni? In this movie, the fountain was
the setting for an iconic scene. Since then, this place has become one
