08 The Catacombs, Rome

01 Colosseum, Rome

The Colosseum is the most spectacular surviving edifice of ancient Rome and the largest amphitheater in the world. See the arena where senators, Vestal Virgins and the masses watched gory gladiatorial conquests, battle reenactments, executions and mythological dramas. A visit here helps students to understand the importance of the spectacle in Roman society.

2 hours See on map
02 The Roman Forum

Visit the centre of classical Rome with your students, and stand on the spot where the great orators made their names. Now a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments in the city centre, the Forum was the site of processions, elections, public speeches and criminal trials. Tip: A visit here is a good starting point for discussions on the life and times of Cicero.

2 hours See on map
03 Palatine Hill

Overlooking the Forum, this was once the smartest address in the Roman Empire. Students can investigate the remains of extravagant palaces built here for emperors including Tiberius and Domitian. The hill is said to be where Romulus killed Remus in 735BC, and in 2007, a sacred sanctuary dedicated to the brothers was unearthed here beneath the house of Augustus.

2 hours See on map
04 The Vatican

The centre of the Roman Catholic Church is home to the awe-inspiring Renaissance masterpiece Basilica di San Pietro and the Vatican Museums, with rich collections from classical sculpture to Egyptian pieces, Renaissance paintings and the legendary Sistine Chapel. Students learn how the Vatican gained its position and explore its contemporary meaning.

Half day See on map
05 Spanish Steps

Students on their own ‘Grand Tour’ can join the likes of writers Byron and Honoré de Balzac in being inspired by the view from the longest and widest staircase in Europe. The hillside was transformed in 1723 – 1725 in honour of a diplomatic visit by the king of Spain, with the staircase linking the Piazza di Spagna to the Trinita dei Monti church.

1 hour See on map
06 Trevi Fountain

This fountain at the junction of three roads – tre vie – marks the end point of one of the aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. Completed in 1762, it’s a baroque extravaganza of carved seashells, sea beasts and mermaids incorporated in a stately triumphal arch. It famously featured in the films Three Coins in the Fountain and La Dolce Vita.

30 mins See on map
07 Piazza Navona

Originally built as a stadium in the first century for athletic contests and chariot races, Piazza Navona was laid out in its ruins in the 15th century, and is now a lively place where locals and tourists hang out. Students can watch the street performers, enjoy an ice cream and admire the baroque palaces that line the square.

Tip: A good place to spend time in the evening

1 hour See on map
08 The Catacombs, Rome

Explore the underground burial chambers tucked beneath the Eternal City, on a guided tour of Rome’s Catacombs. An eerie experience for even the bravest of hearts, your students will gain a fascinating insight into the city’s history by exploring what lies beneath its streets. Photo © Dennis Jarvis.

Tip: The Christian catacombs house important examples of early Christian art, from before 400AD

2 hours See on map
9 The Galleria Borghese

The Galleria Borghese is set within the Villa Borghese Pinciana, renowned for its gardens. A substantial part of the Borghese collection of paintings, sculptures and antiquities come from the 1st-3rd centuries AD including classical and neo-classical sculptures such as the Venus Victrix and a beautiful ceiling fresco by the Sicilian artist Mariano Rossi.

2 hours See on map
10 Gladiator Training School

This sporty workshop lets students walk in the shoes of gladiators. Instructors teach them ancient combat techniques and explain the gladiators’ life and times. Students wear a traditional tunic, Roman sandals, belt and protective gloves, and use a wooden training sword. On completion they receive a medal declaring them a ‘Tiro’, or first level gladiator.

Music venues

St Peter’s Basilica It is possible to sing at Mass in the Basilica, the most venerable church in the Catholic religion. Be prepared for imposing acoustics.
Basilica San Giovanni in Laterano The basilica is the cathedral church for Rome and the official seat of the Bishop who is the Pope. Choirs can perform during Mass.
Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore One of the 4 Papal Basilicas in Rome, this is the most important church in the city dedicated our Lady. Choirs are invited to sing during Mass.
Pantheon Choirs are invited to perform during the opening times of the monument and a sacred programme is required. Thanks to its circular shape and round opening (the oculus) in the dome, this venue has very interesting acoustics.
St Paul's Within the Walls St. Paul’s has an incredibly rich musical life and hosts hundreds of concerts all year round, being one of the most sought-after venues for classical music in the city. Unusually for Rome, the church is open to all kinds of classical music, with few limitations to the repertoire.
