Both for its history as the capital of much of Europe and for its present day
role as one of Europe's most vibrant cities, Rome heads the list for most
tourists traveling to Italy. Relics of its ancient glories - the Colosseum,
the Forum, the Pantheon, the Appian Way, and the Palatine Hill - vie with
the vast riches of the Vatican as the top attractions.

Is a city whose streets are made of water, whose buses are boats, and
where the songs of gondoliers linger in the air, It is a magic city, and its
major attraction to tourists is the city itself.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, actually the campanile for the adjacent
cathedral, is a well-known Italian icon and forms the centerpiece of a
UNESCO World Heritage site that also includes the cathedral, baptistery,
and Campo Santo. The highlight of the impressive baptistery is Nicola
Pisano's intricately carved free-standing pulpit, a masterpiece of
Romanesque sculpture.

The island of Sicily has earned seven places on the UNESCO World
Heritage Site list, three for its ancient sites, two for natural wonders, and two
for architectural treasures. Some of the finest remaining examples of ancient
structures are in Sicily: at Selinunte is one of the largest Greek temples;
in Agrigento, at the Valley of Temples, is one of the three most perfect Greek
temples anywhere; and the 3,500 square meters of mosaics at Villa Romana
del Casale in Enna decorate

one of the best-preserved villas in the entire Roman Empire. Sicily's

landscapes match its world-class attractions.
