Rome Architecture Guide: 26 Works Showcasing the Diversity of Its History

Subscriber Access

Built over three millennia and known as the Eternal City, Rome is home to one of the world's richest built heritages, featuring works that have influenced and continue to inspire architects to this day. Perhaps its most unique characteristic lies in the countless layers of history superimposed over time.

The following list aims to showcase the full diversity of Rome's history. We have bypassed the most obvious monuments and well-known landmarks to construct a more representative and profound portrait of its architectural plurality—places where architectural authenticity can still be found, even within a setting as timeless as the Eternal City. Rome is, par excellence, the palimpsest city.
