    Irish Rugby Tours to Italy - Rome

The Eternal City

Rugby Tours To Rome

Rugby Tours to Rome is everything you want in a tour.

Good food, great wine, tough games and brilliant coaching sessions. Rome’s history spans 28 centuries and Rugby Tours to Rome spans 22 years.

While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest occupied sites in Europe.

The city’s early population originated from a mix of Latins, Etruscans and Sabines.

Eventually, the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. It is regarded as the birthplace of Western Civilisation and by some as the first ever metropolis.

Rugby in Rome and the surrounding area is very strong and getting stronger. Usually a feeding ground along with other clubs for the two Pro14 teams Benetton Rugby and Zebre Rugby.

Tour St. Peter’s Basilica

St. Peter’s Basilica is one of the holiest temples for Christendom and one of the largest churches in the world.

Besides, it is where the Pope presides many liturgies all year round.

Construction of the new basilica began in 1506, when the old basilica had been torn down, and was finished in 1626.

Several renowned architects designed the temple, highlighting the works of Bramante, Michelangelo and Carlo Maderno.

St Peter’s basilica was named after one of Jesus’s twelve disciples known as Saint Peter. Who subsequently  became one of the founders of the Catholic Church. Saint Peter was executed in Rome and is buried where the Basilica now stands.

Tour of Colosseum & Pantheon

The Colosseum was built between 72 A.D and 80A.D under the Emperor Vespasian, in the heart of Ancient Rome.

Made from stone and concrete, this magnificent monument was built with the man power of tens of thousands of slaves.

The Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre in the world. Oval in shape, it measures 189m long, 156m wide and 50m high about the height of a 12 storey building.

This ancient sporting arena could easily fit a modern-day football pitch inside.

This brilliant building had 80 entrances and could seat approximately 50,000 spectators who would come to watch sporting events and games.

These events included gladiatorial combats, wild animal hunts and, believe it or not, ship naval battles.
