Rome from Above – Aerial Journey Across the Eternal City with Google Earth

Exploring Rome from above using Google Earth reveals a city shaped by empires, faith, and unmatched layers of history. This aerial journey sweeps over the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, and the long spine of the Via dei Fori Imperiali before drifting across Piazza Navona and the Baroque heart of the old city.

The flight continues above Vatican City, Saint Peter’s Basilica, Castel Sant’Angelo, and the sweeping curve of the Tiber. From the ancient walls of the Palatine to the perfect geometry of the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, Rome’s landmarks stand out clearly from the air.

Seen from above, the city’s dense streets, archaeological zones, Renaissance palaces, and grand piazzas tell a continuous story of 2,000 years of urban life.
