The EUR district of Rome was built in 1942, on the occasion of the Esposizione Universale.
The ancient appian way
The Appian Way is one of the best preserved roman roads today.
The road was opened in 312 BC by the censor Appius Claudius Caecus, who widened a pre-existing road that went as far as the hills of Albano.
It soon became known as the regina viarum, - the queen of roads and in 191 BC, it was extended as far as Brindisi, thus becoming the main gateway
to Rome for commerce with the East.
Via Veneto e dintorni
The Via Veneto has become the symbol of "la dolce vita". The avenue represents an elegant urban axis between antiquity and modernity.
The Suburra
The Suburra was the most populated part of ancient Rome. It was the area below the city, outside it or rather outside of the original area allocated on the Eternal City’s Palatine Hill for nobility.
From San Giovanni in Laterano to Santa Croce in Gerusalemme
The Laterano complex has been one of the most significant and central locations in the history of Rome and the Church ever since 313 AD when Constantine assured religious freedom to the Christians of the Empire with the Edict of Milan.
The Caelian Hill
In ancient times the Caelian Hill was completely covered in oak trees and was called mons Querquetulanus. Later, it derived its current name from Celius Vibenna, the Etruscan leader.
From the archaeological walk to Porta San Sebastiano
The area between Piazza Porta Capena and Piazzale Numa Pompilio represents the heart of a vast archaeological area that begins at the Roman Forum, passes Circus Maximus and the Baths of Caracalla and leads to Porta San Sebastiano and the Ancient Appian Way.
The Aventine Hill
Among the seven hills of Rome, the Aventine could be considered the hill of poetry. Influenced by her peaceful beauty, great italian poets such as D’Annunzio and Carducci sang of her splendour in their verses.
From Foro Romano to Palatino
The area of the Forum Boarium is of great interest due to its association with the city’s earliest beginnings, and even more important is the stretch of the Tiber now marked by the ruins of the 16th century Ponte Rotto.
From Via dei Fori Imperiali to the Colosseum
The valley where the Roman Forum came into existence was formed by the Tiber’s erosion of the sides of the volcanic lava from which the seven hills originated.
From Campidoglio to piazza Venezia
In antiquity, the Capitoline Hill represented Rome’s military, civil and religious sovereignty.
