| Interesting places near Hotel Luxor: |
Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore
This old church, the first one in Rome to be dedicated to the Holy Virgin, stands on the Equilino hill, dominating the landscape with its bell tower, that is the highest in the city. There is a story that says that fragments of wood from Jesus' crib were kept in this church. |
 |
Piazza di Spagna
This is one of the most enchanting places in Rome, thanks to the famous, spectacular Spanish Steps, formed by a set of curves and terraces that link the square to the church above it. The Barcaccia Fountain, designed by Bernini, stands in the middle of the square. |
|
Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain, which was Immortalized in the famous film "La Dolce Vita" directed by Federico Fellini, is one of Rome's most famous sights and symbols. The fountain, built in Baroque style by Niccolò Salvi, has a sea mythology theme. Legend has it that anyone who throws a coin into the fountain is destined to return to Rome one day. |

Campidoglio
This hill, next to Piazza Venezia, has always been the site of the city's government, from the era of Ancient Rome to the present day. Today, the Campidoglio is the site of the city's council hall. It is necessary to walk up the "Cordonata" a wide staircase in white stone designed by Michelangelo in order to access the square at the top of the hill. |
