Rome and Sorrento

Today, with its wealth of art and architecture, ancient remains, myths and legends, statues, paintings, galleries and museums, and with most of the sights located within a reasonable distance from the centre, a visit to Rome can be overwhelming. An immensely popular tourist destination, much of its cultural heritage relates to the history of the Catholic church, the seat of which, The Vatican City, lies in the very heart of Rome and is a treasury of the visual arts.
