Who arrives at Rome in car, is from the North that from the South of Italy, must respectively cross the A1 freeway to the exit of Rome Norte or Rome This. The two exits lead to the “Great Raccordo Anulare”, external ring of circumbalación that unites the freeway with the state highways.

If we began from the antiguedad, the more important Roman monument is the Coliseo, in covered travertino marble origin, with alongside the Arc of Constantino. Later we have Castel Sant'Angelo that was constructed like mausoleo of the emperor Adriano in the 139 d.C., and that in century IX was transformed into bastion under order of Leon IV.
