About About the place

The Column of Marcus Aurelius, erected in 193 AD in Piazza Colonna, Rome, is a monument commemorating the victories of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Modeled after Trajan's Column, it stands approximately 30 meters tall and is constructed from 27 or 28 marble blocks. A continuous spiral relief adorns the column, narrating the emperor's military campaigns against Germanic and Sarmatian tribes. Originally topped with a statue of Marcus Aurelius, it now features a statue of St. Paul. The column's design includes an internal staircase, though access is restricted.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

This park is amazing and has beautiful scenery. It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.

This is an amazing historic structure which is an ancient building and has so much story associated with it that it becomes such an interesting and intriguing place to visit. We had our guide take us through the iconic landmark and it was quite an informative and fun visit. The place is truly a must see and I would recommend this to everyone.
