Rome – The Eternal City
At the end of 2018, we took a trip to Rome – The Eternal City.
Rome (Roma) is the capital of Italy, capital of the Lazio region and historical capital of the Roman Empire and the Papal States. The city lies roughly in the middle of the Apennine Peninsula on the river Tiber. With about three million inhabitants in the urban area and about four million inhabitants in the agglomeration, it is the largest city in Italy and the third largest in the European Union. With a municipal area of 1287.36 km², Rome is also the country’s most extensive city in terms of surface area.
