Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

This church is absolutely beautiful. We have visited lots of the churches in Rome and this is one of my favourites.

We came across this church walking from Trevi Fountain towards the Colloseum Super huge and grand on the inside and very breathtaking. Well worth a quick peek inside. Free entry

I have visited the Chiesa di San Marcello al Corso many times during my visits to Rome. It is a beautiful church with several chapels devoted to many saints and it is surprising peaceful despite it's popularity gained in part with the church's proximity to the Piazza Venezia and located on the main street of the Via Corso. It was kind of chilly the day I stopped in but you could actually feel the heat from the hundreds of votive candles lit by parishioners and pilgrims. When I visited in the past I noticed the church hosts free concerts Sunday evenings, at least in September when I usually visit Rome. I was not able to visit in the past but this time I did attend the concert one Sunday night and Giulia Fontana (soprano) and Fabio Ignazio (baritone) sang a wonderful assortment of sacred arias and songs for about an hour or so. It was a special night. The event requires no ticket, first come first serve and the church was full but a voluntary offering is asked for or you can buy the CD. If you are on a pilgrimage to Rome, a visit to San Marcello al Corso is a must and attend the concert if the opportunity presents itself.

Piazza Barberini is situated in historical center of Rome, accessible by metro - station Barberini. The square was created in sixteenth century. The name of the square comes from Palazzo Barberini, built in Baroque style. Piazza Barberini is famous because of Bernini's Fontana di Tritone, placed in the middle of the square.

Right by Trevi Fountain. If you’re looking at the fountain it’s to the left of the fountain and back about 20 meters. It’s a small church with a gate in front. Free entry and absolutely gorgeous

Fontana Dei Dioscuri is yet another fountain. It is lovely, just like most of the other fountains. It is located in the Piazza del Quirinale, where the Presidential Palace is located. We passes by this area a number of times over the course of four days, and saw only a handful of people in this area. Not very popular, so you can see the fountain without the huge crowds you have to contend with in other places.
