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.
Apart from the Pantheon, the obvious highlight of this district, Pigna offers the visitor a stroll through narrow and quiet streets where cars are not allowed to drive, to crossing busy streets. You can stumble upon hidden churches, small squares, even a giant marble foot. The latter actually is the remains of an Egyptian temple, and it can be found in the aptly named Via del Pie di Marmo (Street of the Marble Foot). In Roman times, this area, the Saepta, was used for Republican meetings, and it also held temples. Some of these were dedicated to Egyptian deities. History has its hold on Pigna district.
