Even if you have not been to Rome, but you would have heard about it. It is the capital of Italy, but apart from this, there is another country, whose capital is also considered to be Rome. The name of this country is Vatican City, which has been considered the smallest country in the world. This is the centre of the Roman Catholic Church, the main denomination of Christianity and it is also the residence of the supreme leader of this sect, the Pope. Vatican City is located inside Rome. For this reason, this city is called the capital of two countries. Rome is also known as the City of the Seven Hills, the material of the ancient world and the surnames of the Eternal City (Holy City). The city became the capital of the Italian Empire in the year 1871 and in 1946 it was called the capital of the Italian Republic.

Rome was an empire in ancient times, whose founder and first king was Romulus. It is believed that Rome was named after him. Romulus also had a twin brother, named Remus. It is said that they were reared by female wolves. It is also believed that concrete was first used in the world to build buildings 2100 years ago by the Romans, the Roman people. Not only this, but it is also said that the world's first shopping mall was built here in 107-110 AD, which was called 'Treasury Market'.

If Rome is called a 'city of churches' then it will not be wrong because more than 900 churches will be found here, some of which are hundreds of years old. Apart from this, there are more than 200 fountains. The historic Trevi Fountain here is the most favourite place for tourists, where thousands of people reach.
