Top 10 archaeological sites in Italy

Romanum in Rome, Italy

Italy is one of the countries with the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world. Since I was born in Croatia, near the Italian border, my parents often took me to Italy when I was younger. I always admired their hedonism, the best coffee, and the picturesque small towns. But for the most part, I fell in love with this country because of its art and cultural heritage.

And today, I will share my top 10 archaeological sites in Italy with you.
