Rome is probably the richest city in the world when it comes to sights and museums, and it can be difficult to decide where to go. Just walking around in the Pigna district is one attractive option.
Rome is an ancient city, which becomes clear wherever you walk in the Eternal City. A district which roughly has the road layout and planning of the classical era, is Pigna, or rione IX. Pigna is roughly situatued between the Pantheon, Via del Seminario, via del Corso, Piazza Venezia, via San Marco and Via di Torre Argentina. It takes it name from a roman bronze sculpture of a pine-cone. While it was standing on the Pantheon according to legend, it most likely served as a fountain in Agrippa's baths. Whatever its history, it can now be found in the courtyard in the Vatican Museums.
