Day 3

Rome / Morning Sightseeing / Afternoon at Leisure / Wednesday

This morning our first stop is the largest church in Christendom - St. Peter’s Basilica. We marvel at Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s amazing bronze canopy.

Next we enjoy a panoramic city tour viewing Castel St. Angelo and Largo Argentina - where Julius Caesar met his fate at the hands of Brutus. We see the most important of seven hills in Rome, the Capitoline - home of Jupiter, Marcello’s Theater and the Jewish Ghetto. We are awed by the view of the ancient Imperial Palaces atop the Palantine Hill overlooking the Circus Maximus where the Rape of the Sabines occurred.

We’re back on foot to view the Arch of Titus and one of the best preserved Roman structures - the Arch of Constantine. You’ll almost hear the roar of the lions as we enter the Colosseum and imagine the brutal entertainment of the Romans. Next we view the Roman Forum, Trajan’s Column and the astounding "Wedding Cake" Monument to Victor Emmanuel in Piazza Venezia. What an exciting experience!
