Route: Rome - Colosseum - Vatican - St. Peter's Basilica - Sistine Chapel
Duration: 5 h
Firstly we will visit to Colosseum for which Emperor Vespasian made the first draft of the Colosseum in the 2nd century AD, he certainly didn’t go for a “less is more” feel. While the plan of the building was inspired by a classical Greek theater, Vespasian’s vision was much grander than that. He made his architects place two theaters back to back, creating an oval stage with the audience seated around the entire perimeter and pushing the backstage to the underground. We are left to imagine how magnificent the then marble-clad edifice must have looked on its inauguration day in 80 AD but, luckily, what remains of the Colosseum is still undeniably spectacular. Gladiator’s Gate Colosseum Arena Floor Tour offer to you an experience once reserved for gladiators and walk straight through the ancient gates that lead to the Colosseum Arena Floor. This carefully crafted tour includes the 1st & 2nd floors of the Colosseum. Next we will reach the Vatican is one of the most interesting and breathtakingly beautiful sites in the world, but it can be a bit overwhelming to the average traveler. You will see some of its major attractions, as well as to some lesser known spots, and you listen a many information for understanding the history, architecture, and politics of the Vatican. Also you will see Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. The Basilica of St. Peter is an Italian Renaissance church that was designed primarily by Donato Bramante, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Michelangelo and Carlo Maderno. Today, St. Peter's is not only the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture but also the largest church in the world. Construction of the basilica began in 1506 and was completed in 1626. Adjacent to the basilica is St. Peter’s Square, a large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. An ancient Egyptian obelisk stands at the center of the basilica, erected at the current site in 1586. Some of the most popular aspects of the basilica are Michelangelo’s La Pietà sculpture, Bernini’s Baldachin, the statue of St. Peter, Pope John Paul II’s tomb as well as the cupolone - St Peter’s famous dome. In Sistine Chapel the frescoes that we are see here introduce us into the world of the contents of the Revelation. The truths of our faith speak to us here from all sides. From them human genius took its inspiration undertaking to clothe them in forms of incomparable beauty. With these words pronounced in the Homily during the Holy Mass celebrated on 8 April 1994, on the occasion of the completion of the restoration of the Last Judgement, the Holy Father John Paul II wished to place emphasis on the sacredness of the place in which the paintings, like the images of a book, serve to render the truths expressed in the Holy Scriptures more understandable.
