         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Day-tripping-in-Rome--The-Domus-Aurea-/364009</link>
         <description>The ruins of Emperor Nero's legendary &quot;Golden House,&quot; which in its day took up one-third of the city of Rome, were finally reopened to the public in 1999 after 25 years of restoration work. The Domus Aurea remains one of the most unique and impressive sites in Rome . Nero may have been demented, but he sure knew about the good life! 

This building was once one of the most extravagant in Rome in itâs day; the stuccoed ceilings were applied with semi-precious stones and veneers of ivory while the walls were frescoed, coordinating the decoration into different themes in each major group of rooms covered from head to toe in gold leaf, today only 20 percent of the palace survives (and what's left is completely underground). 

The Golden House was a party villa, as shown by the presence of 300 rooms without any sleeping quarters. However, if you are planing to stay in Rome during your Rome holiday you should probably look for Rome accommodation in order that you arenât left without any sleeping quarters!
Rooms sheathed in dazzling polished white marble were given richly varied floor plans, shaped with niches that concentrated or dispersed the daylight.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;Leah Penn thinks Rome is fantastic.

         <title>Discovering Palatine Hill in Rome</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Discovering-Palatine-Hill-in-Rome/363985</link>
         <description>According to Roman mythology, Palantine Hill is said to be the historical starting point of Rome in 753 BC. This, or the âLupercalâ cave, as it is known is where two baby children âRomulus and Remusâ were cared for and protected by the she-wolf that fed them on her milk. As legend has it, the two boys were found and taken in by a local shepherd and his wife and they went on to kill their great-uncle who seized the throne from their father, and decided to build a city together on the banks of the River Tiber. Romulus and Remus had a violent argument and in a fit of anger, Romulus killed Remus, giving Rome its name. 

Palastine Hill was certainly at the centre of the Roman world, and this meant that it was frequented by some of Romeâs most affluent citizens. Livia (58 BC â 29) the wife of Augustus is said to have had a villa here, which is currently undergoing excavation. In January 2007 Italian archeologist Irene Iacopi announced that she had probably found the legendary Lupercal cave beneath the remains of Augustus' residence, the Domus Livia (House of Livia).** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;Leah Penn is a keen writer on Rome.

         <title>The Salzburg Cathedral</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Salzburg-Cathedral/356584</link>
         <description>The Salzburg Cathedral is the biggest and largest of all the churches located in Salzburg. The Salzburg Cathedral is undoubtedly most famous for being the church where Mozart was baptized. This grand cathedral dates from the 1620s and stands on the site of a much older church from the 8th century. Interestingly the Salzburg Cathedral has become an important local landmark and its three bronze doors are well known to locals. The three bronze doors symbolize faith, hope and charity.

It is also fascinating to know that in its past the Salzburg Cathedral burned down after being struck by lightning and its reconstruction began a mere three years later. The church has since then experienced at least three extensive building and rebuilding campaigns during the early middle ages. 

After its reconstruction, ironically enough the Salzburg Cathedral sustained partial damages during World War II. This occurred when a single bomb crashed through the central dome over the crossing. Repairs were somewhat slow to take place, but restoration was complete by 1959.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;Leah Penn spends most of her time reading, writing and living Salzburg.</description>
