Best Top 5 Historical Place To Visit

Pompeii & Herculaneum

Pompeii is the better-known, but both sites offer a tremendous insight into early Roman life, with an incredible number of preserved buildings, streets and even casts of residents that were caught up in the volcanic ash nearly 2,000 years ago.

The Pantheon

Originally constructed as an homage to the pagan gods of Rome, it became a Roman Catholic church in the 7th Century and has seen a number of Christian modifications since. This has enriched the site, providing you with plenty of historic sculptures and frescos to take in as you make your way around the hallowed halls.

The Colosseum 

Colosseum certainly is an impressive structure. Once a venue for more than 50,000 excited Roman spectators – watching everything from gladiatorial contests to mock sea battles – today it holds the title of the largest amphitheatre in the world, standing as a testament to the imagination and ability of the ancient Romans.

Florence

Florence has always been regarded as the birthplace of the Renaissance, which is prestige enough to draw millions of visitors a year. A wealth of history awaits, including the Florence Cathedral – or The Duomo as it is known, thanks to its distinctive dome.

Venice

Basilica is the spectacular Doge’s Palace – once home to the supreme ruling authority of the Republic of Venice, and now a sprawling museum. Visit between April 24 and August 18 this year for a rare exhibition of celebrated artist Manet’s finest works.
