Roma

Located on the Tiber river, Rome is the Eternal City. It is traditionally thought to have been founded by the mythical twins Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a mother wolf. Rome's history as a city spans over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of Western Civilisation. Rome has also a significant place in the story of Christianity up to the present day as the home of the Roman Catholic Church. Now Rome is the capital of Italy and of the Lazio (Latium) region. Rome is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the world. The city is fame for its Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita, Vatican City, and Three Coins in the Fountain.
