Historic Centre of Rome, Italy
Italy is home to more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country – 58. And of those, the historic centre of Rome has to be the standout.
On one single site, bounded by the city’s 17th-century walls, you have: the Colosseum, the Forums, the Pantheon, Trajan’s Column, the Mausoleum of Hadrian, the Column of Marcus Aurelius and untold other treasures. Non-classical highlights include religious and public buildings belonging to the Vatican, such as the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, located – correct – outside the walls and built over the tomb of St Paul.
