The Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Vatican City and the Pantheon!

Even those who haven’t been to Rome can recognize the main highlights of the Caput Mundi. Undeniably, these ancient sights are breathtaking beauties layered with years of rich history and beguiling architecture. They can be best explored with Vatican Tours. But, if you are visiting Rome and limiting yourself to everything-clichéd, you would be missing a great deal!

Rome has its own share of hidden corners and secretive places that even locals seem to forget. These clandestine alcoves amplify the beauty that is Rome today! Below, we’ve handpicked three lesser-known Roman treasures that are offbeat, intriguing and high on interest value:

Basilica di Santo Stefano Rotondo al Celio

Did you know: Rome houses more than 900 churches? However, our hot favourite is Santo Stefano Rotondo. Constructed as early as the 5th century, this church is one of the very first centrally-planned basilicas in the Eternal City. The circular architecture, the sombre interior and the frescoed walls are first of its kind.

Museu Missionario di Propaganda Fide

Like treasure hunt? Museu Missionario di Propaganda Fide is an all-encompassing Baroque architectural feat filled with timeless bounties. Countless artefacts dominate the halls and corridors of this Borromini-Bernini-designed structure. Today, it has been turned into a massive museum after an extensive restoration.

Janiculum Hill

Touted as the 8th Hill of Rome, Gianicolo or Janiculum Hill is one of the vantage points from where you get a clear view of the entire city. The sun-kissed orange rooftops interspersed with dots of green look amazing from above. A languid stroll along the area is recommended.
