About City
Rome (Italian and Latin: Roma [ˈroËma] is that the capital city and a special comune of Italy (named Comune di Roma Capitale), also because the capital of the Lazio region. The city has been a serious human settlement for nearly three millennia. With 2,860,009 residents in 1,285 km2 (496.1 sq mi), it's also the country's most populated comune. It is the third most populous city within the European Union by population within city limits. It is the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome, which features a population of 4,355,725 residents, thus making it the foremost populous metropolitan city in Italy. Its metropolitan area is the third-most populous within Italy. Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. Vatican City (the smallest country within the world) is an independent country inside the town boundaries of Rome, the sole existing example of a rustic within a city; for this reason , Rome has sometimes been defined as the capital of two states.
Throughout the history of Rome, the urban limits of the town were considered to be the world within the city's walls. Originally, these consisted of the Servian Wall, which was built twelve years after the Gaulish sack of the town in 390 BC. This contained most of the Esquiline and Caelian hills, also because the whole of the opposite five.
Rome outgrew the Servian Wall, but no more walls were constructed until almost 700 years later, when, in 270 AD, Emperor Aurelian began building the Aurelian Walls. Rome has been a serious Christian pilgrimage site since the center Ages. People from all over the Christian world visit Vatican City, within the city of Rome, the seat of the papacy. The city became a serious pilgrimage site during the center Ages. Apart from brief periods as an independent city during the center Ages, Rome kept its status as Papal capital and Celestial City for hundreds of years , even when the Papacy briefly relocated to Avignon (1309–1377). Catholics believe that the Vatican is that the last resting place of St. Peter. Pilgrimages to Rome can involve visits to several sites, both within Vatican City and in Italian territory. A popular finale is that the Pilate's stairs: these are, consistent with the Christian tradition, the steps that led up to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem, which Jesus Christ stood on during his Passion on his thanks to trial. The stairs were, reputedly, delivered to Rome by Helena of Constantinople within the fourth century. For centuries, the Scala Santa has attracted Christian pilgrims who wished to honour the eagerness of Jesus. Other objects of pilgrimage include several catacombs inbuilt imperial times, during which Christians prayed, buried their dead and performed worship during times of persecution, and various national churches (among them San Luigi dei francesi and Santa Maria dell'Anima), or churches related to individual religious orders, like the Jesuit Churches of Jesus and Sant'Ignazio.
