15 minutes from Home, Colosseum and archaeological Area of Fori Romani
Foto
The construction of the largest amphitheater of the Roman Empire was started by Vespasian in 72 AD and was completed in AD 80 under his successor Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96).This building was planned to change the relationship between power and people from then on: entertainment and distraction offered to the populace for free.
It was used for gladiator fights and hunting simulations involving ferocious and exotic animals. The capacity is estimated around 70.000 people; the shows became occasions to impress and control the people through an unforeseen display of astonishing special effects. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine. Today it is possible to visit and understand how the underground theatrical system worked, with hoists, ramps and trapdoors, in order to present the animals, gladiators and scenery machineries to an overwhelmed crowd. Find out the unbelievable engineering techniques that allowed ancient Romans to complete this massive structure, that has reached us today, in less than 10 years.It may be two thousand years old but the Colosseum is still the symbol of the eternal city, every year drawing thousands of visitors, meaning long queues and an endless wait. In order to avoid the problem, a ticket may be purchased in advance visiting the website www.coopculture.it. Or alternatively by buying one of two tourist cards: the “Roma Pass” which is valid for three days and entitles holders to free admission and no-queue entrance for the first two museums and to free travel throughout Rome, or the “Archeologia Card” which is valid for 7 days and allows free entry into each of the following sites: Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps, Crypta Balbi, Terme di Diocleziano (Baths of Diocletian), the Colosseum, the Palatine, Terme di Caracalla (Caracalla Baths), Villa dei Quintili, Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella. TO BE SEEN: The Palatine, Roman Forum, Domus Aurea, Arch of Constatine, House of Augustus, House of Livia....to continue reading go on the Website of Rome : http://www.turismoroma.it/itinerari/da_non_perdere?lang=en
How to Arrive there? Easy, from HOME in seven steps enter in the Metro A station Colli Albani, go to Termini (main station of Rome) and take the Line B for 3 stops, or make 20 minutes walk direct to Colosseo looking the old building around you.... There is the Archaeological Area of FORO ROMANO to see around you... 2/3 hours minimum to see the heart of Roman Empire...

How and where to choose an apartment for rent in Rome?

17/12/2016

The center of Rome: something important for tourists, great and unique attraction for the whole world. Rome is the city that has more than 25,000 points of archaeological interest and a Old Town large as a city of 100,000 inhabitants, roughly 15 square kilometers ...
Where then choose a holiday apartment in Rome? The Centre has been distorted its function as the primary hub of city life, as in many other important City centers, and is only one attraction of tourists and activities linked to it .... The residents have a bad quality of life, few parking, traffic limited by the Municipality of Rome, a few shops and services, in order to live the daily life of a resident and tend to move to other areas of the city. Staying in the city center is undoubtedly still beautiful experience for a tourist who does not seek shops for his daily needs or parking, but lives the charm of old buildings, churches, museums around him, a good solution for a stay of 2/3 days ... on the other hand you know an image of the tourist city/showcase, higher prices, chaos ...
A good solution is to look for a house outside the Aurelian Walls that surround the old town, with the help of the stops of the Metro A to reach the rapidly the Center ... virtually from the underground stop San Giovanni, towards Anagnina, you enter the city of the Italian , of everyday life, lower prices, a few minutes to the center, opportunity to learn about the true daily lives of those who live in Rome, restaurants for residents with real Italian cooking, shopping with more attractive prices .... a vacation rental gives more freedom of a room in a B & B, a whole apartment is at your sole disposal, you can use the kitchen to prepare breakfast and dinner, and spend all day around Rome .. Wifi, TV, A/C are included at Colli Albani Terrace ... romantic dinner on the terrace in the beautiful Roman nights

On Via Appia Antica: THE CATACOMBS OF ST.CALLIXTUS

11/12/2016

0 Comments

 
in the first century after Christ, Christians did not have their own cemeteries,If they owned land, they buried their relatives there, otherwise they resorted to common cemeteries, where pagans too were buried.In the first half of the second century, as a result of various grants and donations, the Christians started burying their dead underground. That is how the catacombs were founded. Many of them began and developed around family tombs, whose owners, newly converted Christians, did not reserve them to the members of the family, but opened them to their brethren in the faith. With the passage of time, these burial areas grew larger by gifts or by the purchase of new properties, sometimes on the initiative of the Church itself. Typical is the case of Saint Callixtus: the Church took up directly the organization and administration of the cemetery, assuming a community character. With the Edict promulgated by the emperors Constantine and Licinius in February 313, the Christians were no longer persecuted. They were free to profess their faith, to have places of worship and to build churches both inside and outside the city, and to buy plots of land, without fear of confiscation. Nevertheless, the catacombs continued to function as regular cemeteries until the beginning of the fifth century, when the Church returned to bury exclusively above ground or in the basilicas dedicated to important martyrs. How arrive there from Home? easy: out of the Entrance, there is the Bus 660, with few stops you arrive near the Catacombs.... Fot other info and tickets :

What is a City Tax and why do I have to pay for it? (Info-graphics)

Italian City Tax or Tourist tax, even Landing fee on few islands. Well, here we are.
You arrived at the hotel or apartment for your holidays and hotel reception or host asked you to pay this “strange thing”. What is it?
City or tourist tax is – needless to say – a fee enacted by the Italian Govern and put into practice by the majority of Municipality (i.e. Rome, Venice, Florence, Catania, etc).

The amount is choosen by the Municipality and it’s usually more expensive depending on type of accommodation (1-2-3-4-5 stars hotel, b&b, apartment/flat, camping, “agriturismo” farmhouse, etc.) and high or low season.
Exemptions are choosen by the Municipality too (children, Senior citizens, handicapped people etc.)

What if I don’t want to pay?
You should sign a form with your data and the hotel or host have to disclose your personal information to the Municipality, that could send a fine and ask for payment.

How this tax is used by Municipalities?
To finance measures in tourism as maintenance, the use and recovery of local cultural and environmental heritage and local public services.
Why do I have to pay in cash?Someone asks for cash because in Italy credit card payments have fees to be paid and, as hotels and hosts are just mediator collectors (and many of them don’t agree with tourist tax), they don’t want to pay a fee for a someone else’s fee.
