Rome

"Rome is the capital city of Italy. It is also the capital of the Lazio region. The Metropolitan City of Rome, with a population of 4,355,725 residents, is the most populous metropolitan city in Italy.

Vatican City (the smallest country in the world), is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city.

Rome is often referred to as the City of Seven Hills due to its geographic location, and also as the "Eternal City".

Rome is generally considered to be the cradle of Western civilization and Western Christian culture, and the centre of the Catholic Church.

Rome's history spans 28 centuries. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it a major human settlement for almost three millennia and one of the oldest continuously occupied cities in Europe." Courtesy of Wikipedia
