Rome, often called the Eternal City, boasts a rich and intricate history that spans over 28 centuries. As the capital of Italy and a symbol of Western civilization, Rome is not only a city but a tapestry of time, culture, and humanity. Below, we explore some of the city’s pivotal historical events, its cultural significance, and what makes it an unmissable destination for travelers.

The traditional date of Rome's founding is April 21, 753 BC, attributed to the legendary figure of Romulus, who, according to myth, was raised by a she-wolf along with his brother Remus. This legend serves as a dramatic prologue to the rich narrative of Rome’s early settlements, which date back much earlier. Archaeological evidence shows that the area has been inhabited for over 14,000 years.
