Universally known as the Eternal City, Rome rises from the banks of the River Tiber, set out over seven hills. Born as a small village, throughout the course of the centuries it knew how to expand to become the biggest ever empire. Today it is amongst the most beautiful cities in the world where ancient and modern features live alongside one another in a truly unique capital.
