Landmarks · Ruins · Sacred & Religious Sites
From ancient ruins to Gothic cathedrals, Byzantine churches, and Renaissance palaces, historical places in Italy attract travelers from all around the world. Some of the most visited ones--the world-famous amphitheater Colosseum and Gli Scavi Archeologici di Pompei, an almost perfectly preserved Roman city--date back to the ancient times. Some are not simply historical monuments, but also thriving works of architecture and art, such as the ornate Basilica di San Marco, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore that marks the transition from Gothic Revival style to the Italian Renaissance, and Duomo di Milano, a marvel of Gothic architecture.
