This

El nombre completo en Latín es (coged aire): Archibasilique Sanctissimi Salvatoris et Sancti Iohannes Baptista y Evangelista en mater omnium urbis et orbis Laterano Ecclesiarum et caput
La traducción en castellano: Archibasílica del Santísimo Salvador de San Juan el Bautista y el Evangelista de la Madre de Letrán y la Cabeza de Todas las Iglesias de la Ciudad y el Mundo , pero normalmente se le llama Archibasílica de San Juan de Letrán.
Está located on the Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano, where stands the tallest obelisk in Rome, 31 meters high, and where is the secondary façade, the most used because of its orientation towards the Colosseum and the Basilica of Santa Maria la Mayor.
was built in the fourth century, and from then until 1400 was the seat of the Pope, as this year the papal seat was moved to the town of Avignon in southern France.
On his return to the city of Rome, the seat of the Pope settled permanently in the Cathedral of St. Peter in the Vatican City.
If entered by the door of the Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano, we find the first chapels, such as the crucifix, and fresh, high quality size and no less.
If we keep to the center of the basilica, we find the altar and the gothic canopy above it, where are the relics of the heads of San Pedro and San Pablo.
Looking to the roof we can see the impressive gilded coffered ceiling of the nave, and looking back to the bottom of it, we can see the statues of the 12 apostles in niches built columns.
Behind the high altar, is the mosaic that decorates the apse, a reconstruction of the original medieval mosaic done in the nineteenth century.
In this mosaic, Christ is depicted at the top surrounded by the Virgin Mary and several of the Apostles, and just below is a jeweled cross symbolizes the death and resurrection of Christ surrounded by water from peak a dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit.
Under the dome of the apse is also the chair, the throne of the Pope, made of marble and surrounded by mosaics, where the Pope often celebrate the Mass of Corpus Christi and Supper on Holy Thursday.
Leaving the door on the roof of the facade are 15 statues of 7 meters representing Jesus Christ in the center surrounded by San Juan Bautista and San Juan Evangelista.
The rest of statues representing various saints and Doctors of the Latin and Greek Churches.

Palatino y Foro Romano y
This was the place where the history of Rome and its vast empire began, the very political, economic and religious center of ancient Rome located between the Capitoline Hill and Palatine Hill, place of business, trade and home to most of government and churches, in short, the place where they decided the fate of most of the known world affairs at that time.
The first part is located, and for this it is best that you see the plane below, and the distribution of all the ruins that can be found both in the Forum and the Palatine:
(You can view / download the full-size plane this link )
As I commented in the article on the coliseum , entry to visit the two monuments is the same, and one of the shorter lines where you are going to find is in the box office at the entrance marked with the number 10, so I recommend you come here, because you can directly the Roman Forum.
Roman Forum:
The political, economic and religious center of the city begins to lift around of 700 BC on a marshy area next to the Capitol Hill and was drained to build a central square where they held a market.
In subsequent years, they were adding more administrative buildings, temples and new shopping and meeting, until its decline began with the arrival of Christianity, as it had to close many pagan temples.
If we add several floods of the Tiber, an earthquake and reuse of the marble for the construction of other monuments, we understand the current state of the buildings that made up this very important enclave of antiquity.
For a digital reconstruction of the Forum, its buildings and know the date of construction of each of them, I recommend that you go through the draft Cultural Virtual Reality Laboratory at the University of UCLA in these two sites:
Timeline of the Roman Forum
3D models of buildings Forum
Among the large amount of debris that we visit are:
Arch of Septimius Severus , built in 203 AD to commemorate the victory of the emperor Septimius Severus and his sons Geta and Caracalla on the Parthians.
In this same photo also appears the remains of the Temples of Vespasian and Saturn in the foreground, with the Palatine Hill in the background.
Curia, headquarters Senate and one of the best preserved buildings from all over the forum because of the continuing reforms suffered throughout history because of the fires. This photo also
from left to right the column of Phocas, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and the Church of Saint Luke and Saint Martina.
Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine , one of the buildings and most important trade justice of Imperial Rome and situated on the Via Sacra, the main street of ancient Rome that ranged from the Colosseum to the Capitoline hill.
Here you have a couple of general views on the displayed several of the most important buildings of the Forum:
Palatine
This area next to the Roman Forum had his official residence emperors Augustus, Tiberius and Domitian, but the real importance of this place has more mythology than history.
According to Roman mythology, is on this hill where the first settlers lived in Rome and the place in which was said to be the cave where the she-wolf suckled and nursed Luperce Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of Rome.
One day a shepherd found them and raised them with his wife until they grew and uncover your uncle Amulius grandfather had dethroned and banished to his grandfather Numitor killing all his nephews so that nobody could claim the throne (except the mother of Romulus and Remus, which according to legend she became pregnant by the god Mars), was killed and restored the true king, his other grandfather Numitor.
In gratitude, he gave them some land in the area where the wolf found them and decided found a new city on the banks of the river Tiber.
time later, both brothers had a heated argument in which Romulus killed Remus being the sole king of Rome.
From the Forum, we have access to the palace up the stairs that allow us to bridge the gap of about 40 meters between them.
Once up and before going through the gardens and ruins of palaces, we look from above the forum and the coliseum.
Next to the palace of Septimius Severus, we find the Palatine Stadium of Domitian or Hippodrome, a small Roman circus that took place sporting events and private parties, but probably its main use was as a private garden.
Palatine Other prominent buildings are the house of Livia, Augustus's house, the temple of Cybele and the Museum with the Domus Flavia Palatino we see in this picture.
If you remember the story that I told you in the article of the Piazza Navona on the G8 and the problems to access some of the monuments, this was another moment in which we had change our plans to visit the Colosseum and the Forum, Palatine because the leaders who attended to the G8 summit had a private visit to the site of the Forum and the Palatine and was closed so we had to return the next day to finish watching the whole area. And this was not the last ...

Capitol monument to Victor Emanuele II
In one of the seven hills on which stands the city of Rome, the Capitoline hill, we met with an architectural complex, whose buildings are separated by several hundred years, but which attract thousands of tourists alike thanks to the majesty of its buildings and collections that can be found inside their buildings are the Capitol and the monument to Vittorio Emanuele.
Prior to the construction of the Capitol and the monument to Vittorio Emanuele, this area was called the Mount of Saturn, and here stood a temple dedicated to the highest deity of Rome at the time, and we can see some remnants when we visit the Roman Forum.
Being located near the Roman Forum, it was a really important area of \u200b\u200bpolitical and religious life in ancient Rome, but most of the buildings we see today date from the XVI century, with the exception of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli (S. XII), Senatorial Palace (S. XII) and the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele (S. XX), forming the true Km 0 of Rome.
Campidoglio:
Capitol Square or Piazza del Campidoglio, is located at the top of the Capitoline Hill.
It was designed by the Renaissance genius Michelangelo Buonarroti, who designed every detail of it, from the pavement to the new palaces that delimit the square, redesigning some of the existing and solving the problem of the gap between the Piazza d'Ara Coeli and the Capitol with the design of the elegant staircase Cordonata, where we can see two large statues of the Dioscuri Castor and Pollux in the final.
Once on the Capitoline Piazza, we found the right the Palazzo dei Conservatory, home to the Capitoline Museums, Palazzo Senatorio front, seat of the municipality of Rome, and left the facade of the Palazzo Nuovo and the Church of Santa Maria in Ara Coeli just behind. In the center of the square we can see a replica of the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius.
Capitoline Museums are the second most important city, just behind the Vatican Museums. Inside you can see the original equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius is in the square, the remains of the Temple of Jupiter or the famous Capitoline she-wolf, symbol of Rome, which represents the wolf that nursed the brothers twins Romulus and Remus, the founders of the city of Rome in the seventh century BC
There is a mirror off the left side of the square towards the Roman Forum.
You can find all information to visit the Capitoline Museums on the following website: http://es.museicapitolini.org/
recommend you also enjoy the view or the Roman Forum Piazza d'Ara Coeli, where we can see how the entire Capitol complex is oriented toward the Vatican, the political center of the city at the time and whose dome of St. Peter's Basilica can be seen from here.
Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II:
Este enorme monumento que se levanta en la Piazza Venezia, fue construido a finales del S. XIX-principios del XX como homenaje al Rey Victor Manuel II, artífice de la unificación Italiana.
Aunque en un principio el monumento no parecía encajar en la clásica arquitectura de la ciudad de Roma y era mal visto por sus ciudadanos al haberse tenido que destruir un barrio medieval para poder construir este edificio, poco a poco ha ido ganandose la reputación y respeto de todo el mundo gracias a ser un importante polo de atracción turística y a la construcción del Museo del Risorgimiento, dedicado a la history of Italian unification, free but not very interesting for tourists.
has also helped his situation privileged to see nearby monuments as the Campidoglio, the Forum or the Colosseum itself from its terraces located at a maximum height of 70 meters.
Access to the highest of the terraces next to the chariot, is performed by panoramic lifts to the "reasonable" price of € 7, so we settle for the great view we can see from the other sample from the monument terrace .
Just beneath the massive equestrian statue of Victor Manuel II, the tomb of the unknown soldier, which since 1921 houses the remains of an unidentified soldier killed in the First World War.
In one of the terraces near the street, two soldiers stand guard at the tomb permanently and two incense burners with a flame that is always on.
If during the day reflections of white marble monument that covers the entire visible from half do Rome by artificial lighting at night makes it stand out among the other nearby buildings.
These are undoubtedly two visits are essential in our journey through the most monuments of Rome.

Beside Pregnancy Why Is A Period Late
Basilica de Santa Maria Maggiore - Rome
Along with the Basilica of St. Peter, St. John Lateran and St. Paul Outside the Santa Maria la Mayor is one of the four papal basilicas of Rome.
This is the largest and most important church in Rome dedicated to the Virgin Mary, besides being the largest in the West dedicated to the Marian cult.
As curious comment that is built on an ancient pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Cybele.
Pope Liberius ordered to build this shrine after an apparition of the Virgin Mary to a local patrician and his wife, who surprised a little snow August 5 common year 358 drew the silhouette of the church at the top of the Esquiline Hill, so it is also known as Our Lady of the Snows.
At the level of the left, you can see the times of masses and the most important places to visit in the basilica, among them:
Upon entering the Basilica, we are on the right Baptistery The Battisterio, where we can see the baptismal font to the relief of the Assumption of the Virgin, one of the first works by the great Bernini.
The decorations of the nave are made with the first shipments of gold brought by Columbus from America, and are a gift of the Catholic Monarchs Pope Alexander VI. Between the windows and columns that separate the 3 major vessels of the basilica, we see a series of mosaics on the life of the Virgin Mary.
At the end of the ship, and before the altar, we find two chapels:
The Pauline chapel on the left which contains the tombs of the Popes Paul V and Clement VIII.
Sistine Chapel, dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament, where he is buried Pope Sixtus V.
front of the altar is the crypt of Bethlehem, where we can see a statue of Pope Clement IX kneeling before the Sacred Culla, a glass case in which the relics of wooden pieces that may belong to the rack used in the birth of Jesus.
At the end of the basilica is the canopy under which lies the main altar where the Pope and only priests can celebrate Mass, and the vault of the apse, where it is represented the coronation of the virgin and the most important moments of his life.
