Rare Jewels in Rome

There are out of the way places to visit in Rome that the average tourist will not know until he asks or travels to the eternal city here are a few rare jewels:

1. Visit some of the famous old doors of Rome. One is called Porta Maggiore and is located at the southern parameter of the old city that is what was the southern most point at about the time when the Italians fought the French and liberated the city from their occupation at around 1870. This door is on the form of an antique archway and much of the marble has been removed to provide building materials. Another famous landmark Porta Pia in the East, at the beginning of a well-frequented road Nomentana, marked a point of confrontation again between the Italians and the imperial French at about that time.
2. The Trevi fountain with its majestic stallions coming out at you from the fountain in front of a faux classical building front. Here was the location for the film that made Anita Egbert famous in "La Dolce Vita".
3. The Spanish steps, with the church that has two twin steeples on top is still a marvel to witness. Tourists flock here to bathe their weary feet in a marble basin at the bottom of the famous winding steps. Keats, a famous romantic poet had a lodging near the base of the steps.
4. Circo Maximus, otherwise known as the place, which staged chariot races in Roman times, lies not far from the old part of the city. One can take a bus which passes another famous place that is relived during the summer period and that is Teatro Marcello known for its outdoor poetry readings.
5. The old Jewish quarter, which contains Italy's largest synagogue, stands between the historical centre and a famous quarter, Trastevere known for its clubs and pizza places. I would make a point of frequenting the only Jewish bakery in town, which provided the general population with the treats that European Jews have produced for decades during their festive periods.
