Rome

The city of Rome contains some of the world's most famous buildings such as the Pantheon and St Peter's.

This illustrated guide to Rome's architecture includes these and over 200 other important buildings within a straightforward chronological structure.

Each building is fully described in its own numbered entry, with a photograph, name, date, location and name of architect.

Building plans, historical time charts and five detailed street maps showing the exact locations of each building are also included.

With its historical overview and chronological structure, this should be useful as a reference book on Rome's architectural heritage.
