This property encompasses the historic centre of Rome along with extraterritorial properties of the Holy See within the city, including the Basilica of San Paolo Fuori le Mura. The site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980 and extended in 1990 to include additional papal properties. The ensemble represents nearly three thousand years of architectural and urban development, containing outstanding examples of classical, medieval, Renaissance and Baroque structures. The site includes numerous monuments of exceptional historical and artistic significance, such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Vatican Museums, which collectively document the evolution of Western civilization. The urban landscape reflects successive periods of Roman history, from the ancient imperial city through the medieval and early modern periods, demonstrating continuous cultural and religious importance. The properties are located in the centre of Rome and represent an invaluable testimony to the development of human creativity and exchange across centuries.
