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.
But apart from these smaller remains of antiquity, there are churches like the Santa Maria sopra Minerva church, impressive especially when you enter through the rather small backdoor, the remains of the baths of Agrippa, which can clearly be seen blended in with the houses in the street, the Roman College, and the Piazza Sant'Ignazio. The latter was designed in the 18th century by Filippo Raguzzini, related to the pope. The square, best seen from the steps of the Sant'Ignazio church, is conceived like a theatre, a real exponent of Baroque Rome, and the central building, now in use by the carabinieri, is like a giant stage with side-wings, from which passers-by appear like actors in a real-life theatre show.
