FULL DESCRIPTION

Take a tour to discover the “new” Rome: a new side of the Eternal City characterized by a charming mix of rationalist architecture, museums and nature. This experience through the contemporary Rome will take place in the EUR quarter, which was built in 1935, based on a project envisioned by Mussolini. This new neighborhood was at first intended as a monumental outdoor space designed to house the World’s Fair of 1942. Today the EUR quarter is a green and modern area, full of parks and new buildings that follow the traditional features of Roman architecture. This is the reason why the plant of the quarter resembles the one still visible today in the Roman Forums, the heart of the Ancient Rome. Among the several buildings we’ll see during our pleasant stroll, we will focus on the Palazzo della Civiltà also known as the “Squared Colosseum”, the Palazzo degli Uffici, and the Palazzo dei Ricevimenti e dei Congressi. This tour of the modern Rome ends with a stroll inside the park built on occasion for the Olympic Games.
