St. Peter's Catholic Church
This is the center of the Roman Catholic faith, drawing pilgrims from all around the world. The dome designed by Michelangelo, though not finished in his lifetime, measures 435 feet high and gives a spectacular view of the square below. On special religious occasions, the Pope may appear on the balcony to bless the crowd.

Forum
This was the center of public life in Rome and is now the ruins of temples, basilicas and more, including the Arch of Septimius Severus, the temples of Saturn, Castor, and Pollux. The temple of Caesar, which was erected at the spot where Caesar was cremated, and a reconstruction of the Curia which has been built on the site of the chamber of the Roman Senate. Excavation of this area still continues.

Trevi Fountain
Designed by Nicola Salvi, this grand fountain was completed in 1762. The central figure Neptune is flanked by two tritons; one trying to tame an unruly seahorse and the other leads a docile animal, thus depicting the two contrasting moods of the sea. It's said that if you throw a coin into this fountain it guarantees your return to Rome.
