History of Rome

Dear Traveler,

Welcome to the WanderStories™ History of Rome.

Rome – the Eternal City – was according to legend founded in 753 B.C.E. by two twin brothers – Romulus and Remus.

The history of Rome is that of wars and struggles for power, of magnificent buildings and feats of engineering. Some sights that you see today are well over two thousand years old and yet they are still standing, bringing the magnificent history of the city’s past to life.

Throughout its long history Rome has always been a center of power, culture, and religion. Today, it has an immensely rich historical heritage and cosmopolitan atmosphere, making it one of Europe’s most visited, famous, influential, and beautiful capital cities.

The historic center of Rome is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There is only one thing to do now – visit!
