Opulent villas and lush gardens dot the city of Rome and are significant as they were built centuries ago. Many villas here were destroyed due to extensive real estate speculation that took place in the 19th century. But certain villas that have stood the test of time include Ville Borghese, telling of the 19th century English style architecture; Villa Torlonia that used to be the residence of Benito Mussolini and other similar structures like Villa Ada and Villa Doria Pamphili.

A historical tour across the city will take you even to the vast Vatican Museums and most importantly the Sistine Chapel, best known for the paintings and murals done by Michelangelo showcased there. With structures that evoke a sense of the past, Rome is a city that packs in together a modernist culture with portions of old- worldliness thrown in.
