The 24 Best Things to Do in Rome in 2025

"The Ara Pacis is an ornate Augustan marble altar celebrating the Pax Augusta with four walls carved in scenes of Roman mythology — look out for the striking depiction of a pig slaughter on the west wall — and it now sits inside a stark white building designed in 2006 by Richard Meier, a modern insertion that has been politically controversial." - Matthew Kepnes
