Rome has no rivals when it comes to beauty, history, art, nature, parks, architecture and monumentality. The city changes continuously, offering all possible architectural styles which often overlaps, creating two, often three or four level structures that might incorporate, for example, a baroque palace underneath which there might be a medieval church beneath which you might have a second century church under which there might be 3 levels of ancient catacombs. Additionally, the city displays the greatest amount of monuments and/or points of interest among all world cities, having about 15% of the entire world’s artistic/historic/archaeological/architectural/ inheritance. That is one-sixth of the world’s treasures condensed in one city. From skyscrapers to rationalism to neoclassicism to Art Deco to Renaissance to Baroque to Medieval to Neo-Gothic to imperial Rome…the list never ends.
